Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. I appreciate the purity and floral nature of Mugneret-Gibourg’s Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Chaignots, which is well defined and seems to blossom on the glass. It feels natural and nicely focused, plenty of mulberry and raspberry fruit emerging as it opens. The palate is very well balanced with supple red cherries, spice, gingerbread and white pepper - a really cerebral Les Chaignots. There is very good weight here, the finish blessed with roiling intensity. Excellent. (NM)

A discreet application of wood allows the ripe aromas of cassis, earth and black cherry to be appreciated. The suave, round and opulent flavors possess a very supple and accessible mid-palate before culminating in a mouth coating and lingering finish that evidences just a hint of rusticity. Excellent. Drink: 2021+

The 2011 Mugneret Chaignots is also outstanding, offering up a lovely bouquet of black cherries, dark plums, gamebirds, violets, dark chocolate, coffee bean, soil and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and very suave on the attack, with very good mid-palate concentration, excellent focus and balance, fine-grained tannins and great breed and nascent complexity on the long and utterly refined finish. Young Nuits St. Georges does not come any more elegant than this superb wine! (Drink between 2020-2050)

Medium red. Black cherry, boysenberry and licorice on the nose; distinctly darker than the Vosne villages. Juicy, savory and nicely balanced, with a restrained sweetness framed by harmonious acidity. Dark fruit and licorice flavors display good intensity and are already quite seductive. Finishes with broad, dusty tannins and very good length.
