You could view it as just an inheritance of what is now a legendary estate, but that would be shortsighted. The Mugneret sisters quickly pivoted their lives' direction when their father passed in 1988, and all they've done in the time since is elevate the domaine to the upper echelon of all Burgundy estates in existence.

Domaine Georges Mugneret Gibourg

The Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg was founded in 1933 by a husband and wife duo, and later Dr. Georges Mugneret helped to expand the holdings all while holding down a full time job as an ophthalmologist. Upon his passing in 1988, Christine and Mary-Andrée took it upon themselves to devote their energies to their family's legacy. They combined their father's holdings (once named Domaine Georges Mugneret) and the historical family estate into one, producing a full range of divine wines from Bourgogne to the Grand Crus.

The Mugneret vineyards are tended carefully, with very little intervention aside from tilling between the rows. All grapes are harvested by hand and undergo a rigorous selection before de-stemming. In the cellar, the wines are fermented in tank and aged in anywhere from 10 (village)-70 (Grand Crus) percent new oak.

With some 8 hectares spread over 9 appellations, the holdings here are rich, encompassing a large swath of Burgundy from the Grand Cru Ruchottes-Chambertin all the way to Nuits-Saint-Georges. Even the Grand Cru wines show effortless energy, freshness and delicacy that is seldom matched by any producer of Pinot Noir. Safe to say, the sisters have only served to add to their family's legacy.

The 2016 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru was also showing very well indeed from bottle, revealing a lovely bouquet of wild berries, spicy forest floor, dark chocolate and wild rose. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and satiny, with an elegantly textural attack, a bright core of fruit and a bright line of animating acidity, concluding with a mineral finish. Having escaped the year's frosts, this was cropped at more normal yields than the Clos Vougeot and Echezeaux, so it's no surprise it is more charming but less concentrated than those two special wines.

The 2016 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a generous and vivacious bouquet with copious blueberry and red cherry fruit, orange zest and kirsch aromas developing with aeration. More flamboyant than its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy and ripe with a touch of viscosity towards the finish. Certainly one of the most lavish Grand Crus in 2016 and utterly delicious. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.
