Grand Cru Burgundy - Domaine MUGNERET GIBOURG
Grand Cru Echezeaux Domaine Mugneret Gibourg!
- William Kelley for RobertParker.com on 2017 Vintage Domaine Mugneret Gibourg
The Mugneret sisters' 30th vintage at the helm of this great Vosne-Romanée domaine is a crowning success!
I got to visit Domaine Mugneret Gibourg and meet the sisters even before they had gotten famous! Fame, that is, in the Burgundy Wine World, has not seemed to change them much! I get to see them every now and then at La Paulee. Their winemaking continues to be a success and has been for quite some time. Now is your chance to collect and enjoy Grand Cru Burgundy!
Antonio Galloni while writing for the Wine Advocate & Vinous Media:
"...Everything of the Echezeaux is first-class." "This is an impressive set of wines from sisters Marie-Andree and Marie-Christine Mugneret. I can’t think of too many estates that did so well in both 2008 and 2009."! RobertParker.com
Why Grand Cru?
In Burgundy, there are two levels of vineyard-specific designations, premier cru and grand cru. Grand cru–designated wines represent only about 1 percent of the total production of Burgundy. Grand cru wines are the rarest and, consequently, usually the most expensive. Wine Spectator
Rare also means exclusive and often translates into collectible! Collect and drink Grand Cru burgundy! While you are shopping, check out our other Grand Cru, Domaine Mugneret Gibourg, Ruchottes-Chambertin, 2017! Robert Parker 96!
Critical Acclaim:
"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." WK for WA Jan 2020

"The 2008 Echezeaux is flat-out great. It is a deep, dark wine graced with exquisite balance, lovely inner perfume and a layered, eternal finish. Here the slightly higher percentage of new oak (70%) gives the wine an additional measure of volume. The Echezeaux is made from two parcels; Les Rouges du Bas (just in front of Clos Vougeot) and Les Quartiers de Nuits (next to Clos Vougeot) vinified together. Everything of the Echezeaux is first-class." AG for WA May 2011
