There are few red Burgundies that we love as much as those produced by the Mugneret family.
Their wines are texturally beguiling, transparent, and supremely elegant.

I've always really liked Mugneret-Gibourg's 2018s. There’s an extra dimension of depth and breadth to these wines from the top to the bottom of the range.
Today, I'm happy to offer Mugneret-Gibourg's 2018 Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots.
Mugneret-Gibourg's Chaignots may be the most elegant example of Nuits around. The 1er Cru Les Chaignots is situated on the northern side of Nuits, abutting Vosne-Romanée.
The 2018 is a concentrated example of their Chaignots, 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.
I'll wrap this up. Mugneret-Gibourg is one of the most loved and consistent domaines. For fans of their Chaignots, the 2018 should be snapped up.

William Kelley, The Wine Advocate: "The 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots has turned out brilliantly, bursting from the glass with aromas of cassis, black plums and cherries mingled with hints of spices, orange rind and violets. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, with lively acids, ripe tannins and a generous core of fruit, it confirms that Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg performed especially well in the 2018 vintage."
