Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg

After being completely seduced by the wines of Mugneret-Gibourg at the Grands Jours de Bourgogne, we began importing their wines starting with the 2006 vintage. Our own tasting placed them amongst the elite of the Côte de Nuits, despite what France’s wine guides of that era would’ve led us to believe. Are their recent vintages yielding better wines, or have critics simply become more receptive to them over the past few years? Either way, the current press review’s grants the Domaine its deserved status.
We are thrilled to see them finally earning such recognition. The sisters Marie-Christine and Marie-Andrée oversee all steps of the winemaking process, from tending the vineyards to bottling the final product. Here, aging the wines is a genuine art. Their use of oak is judicious, yielding tannins of exquisite grain. The wines are all about purity and elegance, with an undeniable femininity. The entire range is impeccable in every vintage. The wines are a true reflection of the sisters Mugneret, graceful and elegant.
