Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots Georges Mugneret (Domaine) 2006

Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg was created in 1933 by Jeanne Gibourg and André Mugneret. Their son, Georges Mugneret, took over the domaine and expanded it. Marie-Christine and Marie-Andrée, the daughters of Georges and Jacqueline, now run it. The vineyards are distributed over the appellations of Nuits-Saint-Georges, Vosne-Romanée, Chambolle-Musigny, Ruchottes-Chambertin and Clos Vougeot. The wines of this domaine have a very classic style and its quality has improved a lot in recent years. The cuvées can be presented under two labels, Georges Mugneret and Mugneret-Gibourg.

This wine’s ruby tone is accompanied by a fruity, floral nose and a powerful, round and elegant palate. The finish is fresh and lasts well thanks to the deep-rooted vines it comes from. It can be enjoyed young, as well as after ten years in the cellar. Superb accompanied by grilled meat or cheese.
