Georges Mugneret-Gibourg

Georges Mugneret-Gibourg is one of the most highly regarded producers in Vosne-Romanée. The domaine has its roots in the marriage of André Mugneret and Jeanne Gibourg in 1928, while their son Georges Mugneret — an ophthalmologist as well as a winemaker — later expanded the family holdings significantly. Following his death in 1988, his wife Jacqueline and daughters Marie-Christine and Marie-Andrée continued the domaine. Today, the next generation is increasingly involved.

The estate works around eight hectares, with an exceptional collection of vineyards centred on Vosne-Romanée. Holdings include the Grands Crus Ruchottes-Chambertin, Échezeaux and Clos de Vougeot, together with important Premier Cru parcels such as Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots and Chambolle-Musigny Les Feusselottes. The domaine also produces village wines from Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Chambolle-Musigny.

The approach in both vineyard and cellar is precise and measured. Grapes are harvested by hand and carefully sorted, with vinification adapted to each vineyard and vintage. Extraction is controlled and oak is used to support rather than dominate the wines. The result is a style that places particular emphasis on purity of fruit, perfume, fine tannins and the character of each individual terroir.

Mugneret-Gibourg has developed an exceptional international reputation, particularly over the past two decades. The wines combine the seductive character associated with Vosne-Romanée with remarkable precision, depth and ageing potential. Production is small and demand now greatly exceeds availability, especially for the Premier and Grand Cru bottlings. Today, Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg belongs firmly among the Côte de Nuits’ most sought-after collector domaines.
