The 2017 Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru is a stunning expression of Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most prestigious Grand Cru vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin. This wine reflects both the elegance of the domaine’s winemaking and the refined character of the Ruchottes-Chambertin terroir, known for its finesse, minerality, and aging potential.
The 2017 vintage in Burgundy produced wines of balance, purity, and freshness, with a slightly earlier ripening season resulting in silky tannins and vibrant fruit expression.
In the glass, this wine displays a brilliant ruby-red color with garnet reflections. The nose is highly expressive, offering an intricate bouquet of ripe red berries, cherries, wild strawberries, and blackcurrants, intertwined with floral notes of violets and roses, subtle hints of earth, truffle, and crushed stones, and a delicate touch of spice and fine oak integration.
On the palate, the 2017 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru is elegant yet powerful, with silky tannins, bright acidity, and a refined mineral core. Layers of red and black fruits, forest floor, subtle spices, and a long, precise finish define this exceptional wine.
This Grand Cru has a graceful aging potential, likely developing even greater complexity over the next 15-20 years. It pairs beautifully with roast duck, venison, beef Wellington, and aged cheeses, allowing its depth and structure to shine.
