Mugneret-Gibourg, Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru, “Chaignots”

One from the SommSelect vault! Sisters Marie-Christine and Marie-Andrée Mugneret run this jewel-box Burgundy domaine named for their late father, Georges, and have turned it into one of the most prestigious addresses in the region. Theirs are impeccably crafted, gorgeously aromatic wines across the board, drawing from roughly 20 acres of vineyard holdings in Vosne, Chambolle-Musigny, Gevrey-Chambertin, and Nuits-Saint-Georges. The “Les Chaignots” Premier Cru is a steep-pitched, east-facing vineyard close to Nuits-Saint-Georges’ border with Vosne-Romanée; the Mugnerets have farmed a parcel of this site since 1971 and their current plantings average about 40 years of age. This silken ’15 shows off not just the refined Mugneret-Gibourg house style but the generous mid-palate fruit and rich texture of the celebrated 2015 vintage. Breathtaking Burgundy Pinot Noir with lots of positive evolution still ahead of it!

France

Bourgogne

Beaujolais

Enjoying the greatest wines of Beaujolais starts, as it usually does, with the lay of the land. In Beaujolais, 10 localities have been given their own AOC (Appellation of Controlled Origin) designation. They are: Saint Amour; Juliénas; Chénas; Moulin-à Vent; Fleurie; Chiroubles; Morgon; Régnié; Côte de Brouilly; and Brouilly.

Southwestern France

Bordeaux

Bordeaux surrounds two rivers, the Dordogne and Garonne, which intersect north of the city of Bordeaux to form the Gironde Estuary, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The region is at the 45th parallel (California’s Napa Valley is at the38th), with a mild, Atlantic-influenced climate enabling the maturation of late-ripening varieties.

Central France

Loire Valley

The Loire is France’s longest river (634 miles), originating in the southerly Cévennes Mountains, flowing north towards Paris, then curving westward and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Nantes. The Loire and its tributaries cover a huge swath of central France, with most of the wine appellations on an east-west stretch at47 degrees north (the same latitude as Burgundy).

Northeastern France

Alsace

Alsace, in Northeastern France, is one of the most geologically diverse wine regions in the world, with vineyards running from the foothills of theVosges Mountains down to the Rhine River Valley below.
