| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.9 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 38 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by sid_loves_wine on 4/16/2024 & rated 93 points: Don't pay much attention to my "score" here- it's hard for me to give a number rating to stuff like this because I score with QPR as one of the factors at play, and this is out of my price range- I think the most expensive wine I've ever enjoyed, considering the secondary market (and shared by a very generous friend.) Long story short, it WAS *very* incredible and detailed, with an extremely rare balance of complexity and depth, but I also know that if I had treated myself to this, I wouldn't be fully convinced of the price. I know it's not one of their "top" cuveés, too. Basically, in terms of quality I'm slightly underrating it, and in terms of QPR I'm slightly overrating it.
Based on the handful of wines I've tried from the village, I'd say it spoke clearly of Nuits-Saint-Georges; by this I just mean that it had a certain rusticity, with notable furry tannins, dark mushroomy earth, and in general, pretty densely-packed, darker plummy fruit- but I know these qualities are possible all over burgundy.
What a deep and layered nose, which started intensely earthy (hiding the fruit, a very faint funk that disappeared fast) but very quickly opened up in the bottle after 30 mins. It's not explosively perfumed, but persistent and expressive. It's not so uncommon to find high quality PN with that "forest floor" thing, which was very present and slightly dank- mushrooms, autumn leaves, mossy bark, some leathery tone- and it's not necessarily uncommon to find a PN that shows pretty dark, heady fruit, with lots of black plums and blueberry, some black cherry, starting to show its age slightly with a very faint dried-fruit character (thankfully this was very subtle)- but I feel it's very *uncommon* to find a PN that shows both of these characteristics, both extremely earthy/woodsy, and also showing plenty of expressive, ripe fruit. The raw woodsy character almost reminded me of great Nebbiolo sometimes, and there was some notable tannin- very textural, but still ultimately fine-grained, not coarse. It was probably pretty tough on release.
If I had to argue it was missing something, it was a certain...spark? That's not to say it wasn't incredibly engaging and delicious; it just felt like a very "serious" wine, dark and brooding, something an old vampire might drink in their gloomy castle. I love that kind of thing, but for something so pricey, I was also hoping for a little more lift, clarity, precision, etc. That said, there's no denying the broad array of flavors and gorgeous interplay between them.
A beautiful experience - I wouldn't have batted an eye to learn it was, say, $125, $150, maybe even $200. But it's around $500 on the secondary market. I'm hoping to try more of their wine someday for sure, but I'm not currently saving up for one. Most importantly, I will always love their label. (672 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 4/11/2024 & rated 92 points: I haven't tasted this wine in 5 years, and it is clearly getting better now with cellar age (no surprise). Red cherry and berry with good+ depth, this is getting into its zone. (931 views) | | | Tasted by oxwombat on 2/20/2024 & rated 91 points: Opened at L'Envol in HK. Double decanted for some air, but then decided to fully decant half to speed things up.
Not what I expected, and not overly enjoyable for my tastes. I expect Mugneret-Gibourg to be more red fruited and effortless on the palate, showing great finesse. Unfortunately, this was still quite broody, dark and never really quite got going in terms of expressiveness.
If this is an indicative bottle, then I'd rather stick with the Vosne Cuvees. This might loosen up with time, but it's hard to tell how much time this would take. Good to try and to learn, but wouldn't necessarily seek out again. (1117 views) | | | Tasted by hprphf on 3/3/2023: Quite rich and dark but lifted.

91-92p (4137 views) | | | Tasted by vulgar little monkey on 9/27/2020 & rated 92 points: Part of a 2013-14-15 vertical. Interestingly, this is the most closed down of the three. The fruit is a bit darker and there is a bit more of an herbal and leathery edge to it. Has a really rigid core to it, not that it is tough but rather it is self-contained. I'll plan on checking back in 3-4 years to see where it is. Evolving more slowly than the 2013. Has a really driving whip of a finish that shows more concentration than I expected. (4711 views) | | | Tasted by Jason Stein on 9/4/2020 & rated 93 points: Obviously this is very young, but delightful even now. A dark-fruited nose with a whiff of refined oak. The palate is velvet, the definition of power without weight. Dark, brambly berries intertwine with cocoa powder and spice. With air the aromatics become more intense and the fruit profile turns a bit brighter. Grippy and well-proportioned, this will certainly age for much longer. Won't open my next one for a while. (4193 views) | | | Tasted by fatboi on 8/29/2020 & rated 92 points: have been tasting 2014's and in general feel like the reds are showing quite. a bit. fresh and primary black and red fruit. long life ahead of this. 92/93 (4476 views) | | | Tasted by d'Artagnan on 8/28/2020 & rated 92 points: Au club Chasse & Pêche
Nez élevage avec fruit noir et rouge, moderne mais enivrant.
Belle texture en bouche, fruit croquant et finesse de tanins, charmeur, avec de la fraîcheur et un éclat adorables. 92 pts (4364 views) | | | Tasted by Nicephoras on 4/25/2020: Opened for a Pressoir Mugneret-Gibourt Zoom event. Decanted for @2.5 hours. The nose is intense, with some cranberry and dark cherry flavors and a touch of spice (I'd say Vosne-like spice rather than oak). The front palate is a bit weak and dilute, but the wine really picks up on the back palate with intense and concentrated dark cherry notes (and a touch of cranberry) and a fair amount of tannin, with a bit of oak on the finish. Given the relatively low amount of new oak used (@20%), I expect this will integrate and the front palate will fill out with more time in the cellar. There's quite a bit of ripe fruit, but it's so well balanced that there's absolutely no doubt this is Burgundy. A phenomenal example of some of the best winemaking in the Cote de Nuits today, and a testament to Mugneret Gibourg that this wine, while opened clearly too soon, is already providing a lot of pleasure. After about 3.5 hours the wine began to shut down leaving more oak on the finish. (3087 views) | | | Tasted by LW31 on 9/24/2019: Lovely vintage for this. Starts off a bit closed and tannic but opens with some air in decanter. Medium red berry fruits, quite succulent, surprisingly long. Svelte texture. Needs time of course. Revisit 2024? (3231 views) | | | Tasted by rc@ughey on 9/12/2018 & rated 93 points: Glorious NSG, this has a pure pinot nose and crunchy brambly fruit on the palate that's concentrated, juicy, and expansive. The structure is fine and unobtrusive and the texture is lovely. Polished but impeccably balanced and extremely well made. (4019 views) | | | Tasted by tinybubbles on 7/14/2018 & rated 92 points: Dark fruit, chewy soil, rocky notes. Good density. Should be very good given enough time but needs to soften. 92+ (3667 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 7/3/2018 & rated 91 points: Dinner at Ma Cuisine (Beaune): Popped-and-poured, then consumed over two hours. Plenty of both red and black cherry with very savory spice. Good+ weight and length with very engaging textures. Faintly drying finish for right now, but I expect that will soften. (4112 views) | | | Tasted by Alex G. on 5/27/2018: Surprisingly accessible, raspberries some vanilla on finish. Really light, glides across the palate. Elegant wine that If served blind would never have guessed to be quite so young. Good length, and remarkable purity.
I'm especially impressed because I generally dislike young red Burgundy, this is special. (3604 views) | | | Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 4/17/2018: Leapt out of the glass with aromas of camphor, dried flowers, black cherry and blood plum. It was luscious in the mouth, with a heart of ripe berry fruit and some engaging savoury nuance. It finished with sweet tannins and minerally acidity. (3743 views) | | | Tasted by Drankard on 4/14/2018 & rated 90 points: Very expressive on the nose with some noticeable wood. Bright & crisp red cherries on the palate; focused and balanced. Lots of minerals and good acidity. Finishes with tart cranberry. Not a whole lot of lot depth or deliciousness at this stage. This may have been holding back or just may fill out a little in the future. 90++ (3080 views) | | | Tasted by dcwino on 3/18/2018 & rated 94 points: 2014 red Burgundy tasting w/ incredible whites served blind (Eddie V's - Tysons Corner, VA): Expressive nose displaying rich black fruit, blackberry, black cherry, coffee, sweet spices and earth. Excellent concentration, layers upon layers of black fruit, silky and polished, pure and precise, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, and a long ripe yet pure black fruit driven finish. This seems bigger than the third wine, so my guess is the 14 MG CV. Excellent showing. (3774 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 3/2/2018 & rated 91 points: Some Wine Tasted at the Zachys La Paulée Auction (Mourad - San Francisco CA): Small glass, brief note. Red and black cherry aromas and flavors with perfumes start and savory spice. Great nose, very firm palate with so much potential here, 2024-. (3352 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 3/2/2018: La Paulée Zachy's Auction (Mourad - SF, CA): So much pure black cherry and spice. Young, primary and approachable with polished black fruit. Lots of upside from here. (3132 views) | | | Tasted by d'Artagnan on 7/11/2017 & rated 91 points: Maison du Colombier, Beaune.
Très jeune, élevage perceptible c'est mûr et très bien fait. Un vin à la puissance contenue, avec un peu d'alcool perceptible, qui va s'intégrer avec le temps. Un vin jeune, avec un beau potentiel. 91-92+ (3529 views) | | | Tasted by winelegends.net on 7/9/2017 & rated 92 points: 92+

| Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg Producer websitePinot Noir Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
