Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Mugneret-Gibourg (Domaine) 2012
The wine
These vines grow in weak and pebbly soil, producing a wine with a bright, cherry colour, a refined nose dominated by notes of woodland fruit and spice, and a generous palate. This wine has everything to charm the most demanding of palates. Its silky tannins make way for a long, complex finish. To be enjoyed in 5-6 years.
About the Producer Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg
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.
