Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg

Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir 2012

There’s village and then there’s village. Gibourg made fabulous 2012’s and at age 12, the Vosne village is showing superbly, with seamless layers of fruit, mineral and spice, with the concentration of the vintage and the elegance and finesse of the site and winemaking yielding the perfect combination. In a great spot. — 22 days ago

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2019

Same experience as the Salvioni Rosso, but even tighter here. 2 days later, it’s giving much more. Nose is still subdued, more leather. Brighter fruit and spice. Going to give the rest of these the years of rest they deserve — 2 months ago

Mongeard-Mugneret

Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir 2014

Amazing nose after opening- vibrant with berries and rose. It fairly quickly took on aged character once drunk, however. Not bad at all, but surprising given only ten years of age. — 7 days ago

Grands Échézeaux Pinot Noir 2013

2013 vintage. Zero issues with fill or cork. Not decanted but it was so rambunctious, likely would have shown even better with one. Tasted after 45 mins, 1.5 hours and 3 hours open. Medium body. Nose a mysterious mélange of spent coffee grounds and that expected Grands Échézeaux Asian spice presence. Cranberry tartness right away in the flavors minimized by black tea notes and the coffee/Asian spice twofer. Minute-long finish. Barely harnessed power throughout. Tasting as if it has just kicked in the door to the upper part of the bell curve and a handful of years before reaching the absolute apex. Simply no rush to crush as this is beginning its heroic phase. If you do indulge, open early and trace the development. Many don't like to decant red Burgs but this should be an exception. Needs both big time and big air. 12.09.24. — a month ago

Romanée-St. Vivant Pinot Noir 2002

2002 vintage. Good fill. Nice cork. Not decanted. Tasted after 45 mins, 1.5 hours and 3 hours open. Light body. Nose replete with raspberry and strawberry notes along with some dried mushrooms and a slight, high octane/alcohol nose. Flavors same/similar + cherry pastille. Finish lengthy but not otherworldly. Was left wanting more as it felt that this particular bottle, while showing decently, is possibly an outlier. 12.09.24. — a month ago
