Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg 2022 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru: A Burgundy Masterpiece

Producer & Origin: Crafted by the esteemed Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg in Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, this Pinot Noir from the 2022 vintage is a testament to the region’s winemaking excellence. Sourced from a 0.70-hectare parcel in Ruchottes du Bas, this wine embodies the terroir’s unique character.

Tasting Notes & Critical Acclaim:
Decanter awards it 97 points, praising its laser-focused blackberry fruit, layered with violet, earth, and smoke nuances. The palate is dense and chiseled, with firm tannins and a persistent saline minerality that lingers elegantly. Vinous rates it 95-97 points, noting its vivid marine influence—think briny black olives and estuary-like freshness—complementing the sappy black cherry and bilberry core. This isn’t just a wine; it’s an experience of Burgundy’s coastal soul.

Winemaking & Aging Potential:
The grapes are destemmed and gently fermented, then aged in 70% new oak casks to preserve purity and structure. Decanter recommends 5 years of cellaring, with an ultimate aging potential of 40-50 years. Perfect for collectors seeking long-term investment or connoisseurs eager to explore its evolution.
