Nice nose of red fruits in this slender wine with slightly dull fruit. The woodiness gains the upper hand and dries up the finish, slightly erasing the nuances of the terroir of this parcel in a village ideally located near the Grand Cru Griotte-Chambertin.
This tiny wine domaine based in Vosne-Romanee combines Fabrice Vigot's own holdings, those from his wife's family and some share-cropping arrangements with Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg, including the Grand Cru Echezeaux. Until the summer of August 2009 there were two domaines, Mugneret-Gibourg and Dr Georges Mugneret. The former was created in 1933 following the marriage of Andre Mugneret, from an old Vosne-Romanee family, and Jeanne Gibourg in 1928. Their son, Dr Georges Mugneret purchased further vineyards using a label in his own name. The Mugneret-Gibourg vines were looked after by sharecroppers, which remains the case today in the hands of Fabrice Vigot and Pascal Mugneret. The Dr Georges Mugneret vines are exploited directly.
