Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg Description
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.
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
The 2017 Echezeaux Grand Cru is still very open and expressive despite its recent bottling, bursting from the glass with aromas of smoky cherries, ripe berries, orange rind, dark chocolate and espresso roast. On the palate, it's full-bodied, textural and enveloping, with powdery tannins, lively acids and an ample core of fruit, concluding with a long and perfumed finish.
Vinous Media: 93 Points
The 2017 Echezeaux Grand Cru, which contains 20% whole bunch, has a very perfumed and floral bouquet, wilted rose petals infusing the vibrant red berry fruit and a touch of sous-bois in the background. The palate is medium-bodied and quite "strict" in style. A structured and slightly hard Echézeaux at the moment that will require several years to soften. Patience required.
