A more concentrated dark crimson colour, with a bouquet well in reserve. A delightful swelling of the fruit on the palate, dark strawberry softness but adequate grip behind nonetheless, with just enough acidity to help prolong the finish. The residual perfume is delicious. Drinking range: 2030 - 2036 Rating: **** Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy (Nov 2024)

The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Chaignots 1er Cru, matured in 40% new oak, offers darker fruit than the other cuvées from the appellation. It is more marine-influenced with light chalky scents. The silky-smooth palate is medium-bodied with moderate depth, more easy-drinking and open than the 2022 with a touch of white pepper on the finish. Charming (as usual). Drinking range: 2026 - 2040 Rating: 90-92 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Nov 2024)
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.- For full delivery details see our Delivery page.
