The 2020 Vosne-Romanée La Colombière is exquisite, soaring from the glass with scents of cherries and raspberries mingled with rose petals, sweet spices and espresso roast. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with lively acids and powdery tannins, it's deeper and more mineral than the domaine's regular Vosne-Romanée blend. Rating: 91-93 William Kelley, The Wine Advocate (Jan 2022)
(from a .80 ha parcel of ~80-year-old vines). This is aromatically similar to the straight Vosne cuvée but with more pronounced floral elements adding a touch of elegance. The fleshy and seductive but punchy medium weight flavors conclude in a powerful, serious and even more structured finale. I would offer the same observation here that this is also very good but will need at least moderate patience. Drinking range: 2030 - Rating: 89-92 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2022)
Very intense purple black. The nose is only slightly heady but is very fine, perfumed dark raspberry, offering much more than the blend. Very old vines here (1930s) but there is not much degeneration. I keep coming back to the nose, its beautiful. Gorgeous weight on the palate, perfect balance even at 14%, with fine acidity as well as ripened tannins. Tasted: November 2021 Rating: 92-94 Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy (Jan 2022)
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.- For full delivery details see our Delivery page.
