Sulphured the day before, so there was a certain tight fierceness about this the day we tasted, but the density is undeniable and the underlying silk is all there. L&S (Nov 2019)

The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Les Feusselottes 1er Cru has a beautifully defined nose of vivid red berry fruit infused with wilted rose petals and peony. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins, and so harmonious that you would not guess that the fermentation did not begin until the beginning of December! At 14.2°, the alcohol is disguised, though it does seem to scalp some of the precision. Drinking range: 2023 - 2040 Rating: 92 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Dec 2020)

The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Feusselottes is the ripest wine in the cellar this year, checking in at 14.2% alcohol, and the fermentation took a long time to finish; indeed, the wine only went to barrel in December. The Mugneret sisters' attentive vindication, however, has resulted in a superb cuvée that bursts from the glass with a lavish bouquet of raspberries, red cherries, rose petals, blood orange and warm spices. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and enveloping, with lively acids, superb concentration and a sun-kissed sweetness of fruit that reflects the vintage. Rating: 92-94+ William Kelley, The Wine Advocate (Jan 2020)

Rich and intense aroma. Super-soft and satin tannins. Succulent and generous. Full. Opulent Chambolle. Not massively long, but so inviting. Drinking range: 2023 - 2030 Rating: 93 Sarah Marsh MW, The Burgundy Briefing (Nov 2019)

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.
