Producer

Georges Mugneret Gibourg

The Georges Mugneret Gibourg domaine was formed in 1933 with the marriage of Andre Mugneret to Jeanne Gibourg. It expanded under the guidance of their only son, Dr. Georges Mugneret Gibourg, who in addition to overseeing the domaine had a successful ophthalmology practice in Dijon. Under Georges, the holdings were significantly expanded, and the reputation of the domaine rose. While perviously well-respected among collectors and vignerons alike, the third generation, led by Georges’ daughters Marie-Christine and Maria-Andree, have elevated the domaine's consideration as one of the top Burgundy. The relatively old vine age across all parcels and the move to biodynamic farming practices has positively affected the quality in both winemaking and the cellar.

The wines go through a cold soak and a relatively long fermentation in stainless steel tanks using indigenous yeasts before being moved to barrel. They spend anywhere from 18 to 21 months in barrel in varying degrees of oak pending classification. Across the entire range, these wines are some of the most elegant and expressive pinot noirs coming from Burgundy. The Bourgogne rouge comes from 60 year old vines located just outside the village of Vosne and is one of the best values in Burgundy--if you can find it. The village Vosne comes from the Colombiere lieu dit with the oldest wines dating back to the 1940s. It is silky yet powerful, and shows well after some cellaring. 

Region/Subregion

France

It would be difficult to overstate the importance of France to the wine world. With a rich history of wine production across virtually all of France over the last thousand years many of the grape species that are known for producing benchmark wines from all over the world had their beginnings in France. Over centuries vignerons refined their focus on what grapes thrived and transmitted a sense of place.
