Bright deep red. Pungent spices, redcurrant and tobacco on the very ripe nose. Lush and sweet in the middle but with no excess weight. This really spreads out to saturate the palate, offering excellent depth of flavor. Finishes with big but ripe tannins that will require patience. Rating: 93(+?) Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Mar 2008)

From vines in Les Rouge du Bas and Les Quartiers de Nuits. They always vinify the two parcels together, as their Grandfather did. He started this tradition because it was easier and less risky than making two very small cuvees. Sweetly-scented, generous and intense. The palate is driven by the fruit, but retains elegance and a juicy quality. The richness of the fruit masks the rounded, smooth tannins. Fine to very fine. From 2014.

Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg
Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg and Domaine Georges Mugneret have, from the 2008 vintage onward, combined as one fiscal entity to become Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg, so ending (or adding to) the naming confusion. The responsibility for the domaine has been for some years been that of Georges Mugneret's daughters Marie-Christine and Marie Andrée, although their mother still plays her part. With one a pharmacist and the other an oenologist, the domaine was always going to be in safe hands as far as the winemaking was concerned, and these are top-flight burgundies with that elusive balance of enough concentration allied with delicacy of expression and the capability of ageing well. Recently 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.

Fat and saline. Really good body and weight, but it's the level of savoury salinity that is surprising. Very supple tannins, making it both lush and graceful.
