Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg Nuits-St-Georges Les Chaignots 2018 is a 1er Cru Burgundy Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits. The domaine of Mugneret-Gibourg was formed in 2009 from the amalgamation of the domaines of Mugneret-Gibourg and Dr Georges Mugneret. The domaine is now diligently managed by the daughters of Dr Georges Mugneret, Marie-Christine and Marie-Andrée Mugneret. Hand harvesting in the vineyards combined with rigorous grape selection ensures the highest possible quality fruit goes into the domaine`s wines. For the Pinot Noirs, fruit is mostly destemmed with levels of new oak kept at a moderate level. "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."
