Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg, Chambolle Musigny, 1er Cru Feusselottes

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-Romanée, Chambolle-Musigny, Gevrey-Chambertin, and Nuits-Saint-Georges.


The Mugneret sisters are fortunate to work with the vines of “Les Feusselottes” in which the vines go back 50+ years. The family were able to purchase the plot back in 1985 and have been crafting incredibly seductive Pinot from it consistently. It’s bumpy terrain located at the mouth of the valley that feeds into Chambolle-Musigny. Born out of alluvial, iron-rich silt with pure limestone subsoils. The wine engages one with aromas of purple flowers, dark berries and baking spice scents. Suave and textured on the palate with a kiss of truffle and earth that rises from the dark berry fruit core. Simply exquisite! Approachable now, but your patience will be awarded a few years from now.

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.
