Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg Gevrey-Chambertin

Great produce, showing really well right now. We had it up against a 2002 le moine CDLR and this one was much more open w plenty of fresh fruit and lovely mineral and earth

Consumed with yakitori omakase at Torien NYC, 8/14/2023. Firing on all cylinders from the pop and pour. The 2002 Roumier Les Cras, usually the wine to steal my heart in a tasting, seemed downright shy and mute in comparison (which it was not, it showed as should, one of my fav roumiers.) This is drinking at peak pleasure now - I’m not confident cellaring can tease out additional complexity out of this young vine juice but I am confident one …

lol this is just village wine in the same way that Elizabeth Taylor was just a girl when she was young.

A 2002 Mugneret-Gibourg Horizontal : Vivid and punchy and charismatic - immediately grabbed everyone's attention. Pure and pungent aromas of red fruit and a bit of meat and blood, all underlined by rock. Powerful stuff, but entirely pure and gentle too. Shows the nobility of the vineyard - a wonderful wine and drinking so well now.

Excellent. High toned, piercing, complex, wild flower and red berry nose, a meatiness to it after 45+ min open. From young Ruchottes vines. Showing beautifully at this stage. Drink now and over next few years I would think.

Out of magnum, young vine Ruchottes-Chambertin. Really impressive immediately from the bottle. Nose is very elegant for Gevrey, an almost floral component to the high toned darker fruit. Perfectly balanced in the mouth with a long finish. Certainly not a village wine. Held it's own with other Gevrey grands crus.

Licorice, anise, cassis, some age, medium finish, great with dried meat, truffle.

Flickinger Wines Customer Appreciation Tasting (The Casino Club, Chicago, Illinois) : Light ruby color. Notes of earth, cherry and pine forest. Good acidity with red fruit and earth tones on the palate.

This is so dense and rich, I'd say medium-full bodied...still crazy young for a villages. The red fruits just cling to the palate, very grippy and there's a great dose of acidity, preventing the fruit from becoming burdensome or overbearing. Fresh might be a good word to describe the sensation. This is leaps and bounds better than other villages wines I've experienced, even from 2005 - and the finish doesnt quit. It's not terribly complex once you get past the …
