Whenever I see Mugneret-Gibourg's Vosne-Romanée, I click buy immediately.
It's easy to fall for Mugneret-Gibourg's Vosne. Few wines combine a seductive texture with an ultra-fine and elegant precision. For me, there's no better example of a village-level Vosne, and it's one of the greatest examples of village to be found anywhere in Burgundy.

The 2019 is a concentrated example of their Vosne, boasting more spice and polished swagger than the norm. There is a really lovely elegance to the wine. Layers of spice, floral notes, and earthy undertones mingle. The beautifully suave texture of Mugneret-Gibourg is definitely on display. The density and balance make me confident that this is going to age really well.
Mugneret-Gibourg's Vosne has always been difficult to come by, but now finding the wine in any quantity can seem impossible. At the end of the day, what I'm offering is a fairly small parcel and we're only able to send the offer to Mugneret-Gibourg buyers.
The quantities are so limited that I might be getting myself into trouble saying this, but it's definitely worth it to grab a few bottles to track over the next decade and beyond. With 5 to 8 years of age, it becomes a heart-breaking tapestry of suave, velvety dark fruits, earth, and exotic spices.

William Kelley, The Wine Advocate: "The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Village is already immensely seductive, soaring from the glass with scents of sweet red berries, exotic spices, cherries and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, supple and velvety, it's seamless and enveloping, with a succulent core of fruit, melting tannins and a long, perfumed finish."
