Seems tauter yet than the Vosne. A chalky texture of fine tight tannin. Good volume and purity - fine and elegant. Drinking range: 2026 - 2033 L&S (Oct 2022)

(from a .80 ha parcel of ~80-year-old vines). Here the wonderfully fresh and pure nose derives more from the red side of the fruit spectrum while displaying plenty of spice nuances, in particular star anise and sandalwood, along with a hint of crushed fennel. The medium-bodied flavors are not quite as concentrated as those of the straight Vosne villages, though they are notably finer on the lingering, balanced and energetic finale.

From vines planted in 1931, the 2021 Vosne-Romanée La Colombière has an ethereal bouquet with brambly red fruit and ground limestone scents - beautifully focused, yet understated. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, extremely precise with beguiling tension on the finish. Like a Swiss watch…but it tastes better. Drinking range: 2024 - 2039 Rating: 91-93 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jan 2023)

Just the old vines, the younger ones going into the blended Vosne-Romanée. Both cuvées are vinified in the same way, so it is the terroir and vine age which counts. Clearly a more intense colour and oddly, the oak shows a little more. More tannins too, with a thicker textured dark fruit. Fair length. More awkward today but with greater potential.

Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg

Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg was founded in 1933 on the marriage of Jeanne Gibourg and André Mugneret. Holdings then consisted of Bourgogne, village Nuits, village Vosne and Echezeaux. Their son Georges, an opthalmologist by day, added to the vineyards, but his acquisitions (Nuits 1ers Crus Vignes Rondes and Chaignots, Chambolle 1er Cru Feusselottes, and Grands Crus Clos Vougeot and Ruchottes Chambertin) were kept separate as Domaine Georges Mugneret.

On Georges' death in 1988, his widow Jacqueline and daughter Marie-Christine took over. Marie-Andrée, the younger daughter joined them a little later having completed her studies as an oenologist. In 2009 Jacqueline retired and the two domaine names were put together to become Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg, ending the prior confusion of labels.

The sisters have proved more than safe hands as far as the winemaking is concerned, and these are top-flight Burgundies with that elusive balance of enough concentration allied with delicacy of expression and the capability to age well. All the vineyard management has been brought in-house (the domaine previously relied on two métayeurs for part of the vineyard) and the quality has reached new heights, its wines some of the most sought-after in the Côte de Nuits.

In 2017 Marie-Christine 's daughter Lucie joined the domaine, and Marion and Fanny, daughters of Marie-Andrée are now also part of the team.
