20-25% New wood - from various coopers, as ever. Totally de-stemmed. Strangely the frost did not affect this so seriously, just 20% lost. More of a problem up the hill, above the village in 2016. This is superbly delicious. Good concentration. Lovely weight. Elegant. So pretty. Such super fine tannins. Elegant, sleek and nicely ripe red fruit. Juicy and joyous but fine too. L&S (Oct 2017)

(from 5 different parcels located in La Columbière, Champs Goudins and Le Pré de la Folie, which are contiguous vineyards located below the village and above the Route Nationale). Firm reduction dominates the nose today. Otherwise the sleek, velvety and highly seductive medium-bodied flavors possess first-rate richness thanks to the abundant sap that buffers the moderately firm tannic spine shaping the mouth coating, balanced and lingering finish. This delicious effort could easily be enjoyed in its youth. Drinking range: 2021 - Rating: 89-91 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2018)

Bright, dark red with ruby tones. Penetrating aromas of black fruits, flowers and spices. At once dense and juicy, showing more minerality and reserve than the Bourgogne Rouge, not to mention superior energy and ripeness. In a more reticent, saline style, this wine finishes with serious dusty tannins. Rating: 89-91 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Jan 2018)

The 2016 Vosne Romanee Villages is a blend of different parcels to create a single cuvée this year. There will be 25% new oak in the final blend using four different coopers. It has a sensual and pure bouquet with red cherries, raspberry and a touch of vanilla. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, ripe tannin, fine density and tension, and a subtle marine influence toward the finish. What a lovely village cru from Mugneret-Gibourg this year.

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.
