The 2017 Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is a remarkable expression of Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most historic and prestigious Grand Cru vineyards.

Tasting Notes

In the glass, this 2017 vintage presents a deep ruby-red color with garnet reflections. The nose is highly expressive, offering a complex bouquet of ripe red and black berries, dark cherries, and blackcurrants, beautifully layered with floral notes of violets and roses, subtle hints of earth, forest floor, truffle, and crushed stones, and delicate touches of spice, cedar, and fine oak.

On the palate, this Grand Cru is both refined and powerful, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a structured yet elegant mouthfeel. Flavors of red and black fruits, savory spices, and mineral undertones unfold gracefully, leading to a long, persistent finish marked by precision and depth.

Vintage Character

The 2017 vintage in Burgundy was characterized by excellent balance, purity of fruit, and early accessibility, making this Clos de Vougeot approachable in its youth but with significant aging potential. While already offering impressive complexity, it will continue to evolve beautifully over the next 15-20 years.

Food Pairing

This Grand Cru pairs exceptionally well with roast lamb, duck confit, beef tenderloin, and aged cheeses, enhancing the wine’s rich and layered profile.
