Floral rather than black fruit nose. Sweetly lifted aromas. Silky and round, almost soft! Mouthfilling with concentrated flavour. Gives the best part at the end - at once long and linear and yet fanning out, like a coloured stream over a smooth stone. L&S (Dec 2012)

The 2011 Chambolle-Musigny Les Feusselottes is absolutely impeccable. Gracious, perfumed and light on its feet, the 2011 captures the essence of this site. Sweet tobacco, dried rose petals and crushed berries all develop in the glass. Above all else, the 2011 is a wine of perfume, silkiness and pure texture. There is so much to like here. 2018-2021 Rating: 93 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Apr 2014)

Good deep, bright red. Liqueur-like raspberry and pomegranate on the nose; "always the highest in volatile acidity in the cellar," notes Marie-Christine Mugneret. More red fruits than black in the mouth, with lively minerality providing verve. Finishes with a very firm tannic spine and excellent mineral lift. Rating: 89-92 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Feb 2013)

This is notably ripe though still pleasantly fresh with its spiced plum and black pinot fruit nose that slides seamlessly into rich, silky and utterly delicious middle weight flavors that are shaped by ultrafine tannins on the balanced, palate coating and beautifully persistent finish. This is very Chambolle and the sense of harmony is extraordinary. 2017+ Rating: 90-92 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2013)

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.
