Chevalier Induction Dinner - Beautiful pure red fruit. Lush without being opulent or overly round. This had an extra gear too and the depth you would hope for. While quite a bit younger than I like MG this was already in a spot I would not hesitate to open again, however patience will reward here too. 5-7 years from now this should hit its stride with the emergence of a few secondary notes. We will hang on to those for a bit as a result. Top level CV.

My least favorite in a flight of 08, 09, & 10. Compared to the other two vintages, this was was a bit fleshy and flabby. Lacked precision and elegance. Might have liked it better if not compared to the two others but this one just didn't do it for me.

Beautiful nose of raspberry, sweet spices, oak. This is sunny and modern but with excellent complexity. On the plate it really shines. Beautiful ripe fruet married with a polished tannic corset that makes French wine so drinkable and sophisticated. My last bottle of this case, unfortunately the price of Mugneret-Gibourg has risen a lot so that it is hard to find and rebuy these.

A beauty....there’s something about MG I find it gives you secondary characteristics through the bouquet and textures even when the fruit is still primary...it’s a very seductive experience. Nose is performing even better than the palate. The fruit here is plummy, velvety and still in early stages....Well crafted and not heavy handed, though it has a bit of heat in the finish

Ripe, fruit-forward nose of raspberry and soil tones. Fleshy with grainy tannins and moderate acidity carrying flavors of raspberry and minerals. Excellent persistence. Very good today.
