(from vines in Lutenière that are below La Croix Blanche and Au Dessus de la Rivière that were at one time classified as Vosne villages before the AOC system was established). A discreet touch of wood sets off notably ripe red berry aromas that are cut with plum, violet and spice nuances. There is excellent volume to the velvety and round flavors that possess lovely verve on lingering finish. This boxes well above its weight for its level and is recommended. Drinking range: 2023 - Rating: 87-89 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2020)

Offering up a deep-pitched bouquet of cherries, raspberries, woodsmoke and rich soil tones, the 2018 Bourgogne Rouge is medium to full-bodied, supple and succulent, with fine-grained but youthfully chalky tannins, a ripe core of fruit and a flavorful finish. As ever, this is one of the finest regional wines produced in the Côte d'Or—as well as one of the most highly allocated—and readers are advised to buy any and every bottle they can find.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate (Jan 2020)

The 2018 Bourgogne Rouge comes from 65-year-old vines in the lieu-dit of La Lutenière (opposite the winery of Arnoux-Lachaux), which was cropped at just 25hl/ha. It has a lovely, very pure bouquet of brambly red fruit and briary aromas. The medium-bodied palate presents slightly coarse tannins on the entry. A little angular at the moment, but with a bright finish. Drinking range: 2021 - 2024 Rating: 86-88 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jan 2020)

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.
