To wit, the Mugneret sisters today are one of the leading talents in all of Burgundy. Their very small production is highly sought-after (and often in vain) by the world\u2019s connoisseurs, simply because Mugneret Burgundy offers such a subtle yet potent impression of Burgundy\u2019s most hallowed terroirs.<\/p>\n

The history of the Mugnerets has much to do with fate, a theme not unfamiliar to grape growers or winemakers. The modern founder of the family estate, Dr. Georges Mugneret, was born into a winemaking family yet pursued his passion for wine alongside his profession as an ophthalmologist. In the late 1980s, however, he passed away after a short but serious illness, handing over the estate he had nurtured to his wife, Jacqueline, and two daughters, Marie-Christine and Marie-Andr\u00e9e, for them to either carry on, or sell.<\/p>\n

Madame Mugneret said no sale; Marie-Christine gave up a career as a chemist to learn winemaking; and Marie-Andr\u00e9e quickly finished her oenological studies. And with a passion and dedication no less than their father\u2019s, they pushed on to establish Mugneret-Gibourg as the world-class domaine it is today.<\/p>\n

We first started working with the Mugnerets decades ago when their father was at the helm; today, it is always a joy to visit these hard-working and ever generous sisters and taste the products of their tireless labors. Mugneret Burgundy is Burgundian to its core, a pleasure to drink and a treasure to cellar.

The Mugnerets care for their vineyards sustainably, using natural treatments if necessary (but very infrequently). Plowing between the rows to control weed growth and green harvesting to control yields is the norm.<\/p>\n

Grapes are harvested by hand and are sorted on a sorting table at the cellar. Fruit is destemmed and fermented in temperature-controlled tanks on indigenous yeasts. Wines are aged in French oak barrels for 18 months; villages<\/i> wines see 10-20 percent new wood; premier cru wines 30-50 percent; and grand cru wines up to 70 percent. Wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered.
