Histoire du domaine
The Mugneret family settled in Vosne-Romanée in 1930. Jeanne Gibourg and André Mugneret, who married in 1928, founded Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg in 1933. There, they produced red Burgundies, including Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Échezeaux. Their only son, Georges Mugneret, an ophthalmologist in Dijon, continued the family’s wine-making business alongside his medical practice. He gradually expanded the vineyard through acquisitions at Clos Vougeot in 1953, in Nuits-Saint-Georges in 1971, in Ruchottes-Chambertin in 1977, and then at Les Vignes Rondes and Les Feusselottes in the 1980s. Following his death in 1988, his wife Jacqueline ensured the estate’s continuity alongside their daughter Marie-Christine, who was soon joined by Marie-Andrée after she completed her studies in oenology at the University of Burgundy. In 2009, Domaines Mugneret-Gibourg and Georges Mugneret merged under the name Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg. The estate is now run by Marie-Christine and Marie-Andrée, whilst Lucie and Marion, their respective eldest daughters, joined the business in 2017 and 2018. The two sisters oversee the winemaking process directly, from the hand-harvesting to the blending and bottling at the estate.
La Colombière
La Colombière is a winegrowing lieu-dit in the Vosne-Romanée appellation, located on the piedmont east of the village and classified at the Village level, not Premier Cru. The site is described as practically flat and characterized by soils rich in silts and clays, with limited limestone presence in its western part. The BIVB indicates a general east-facing exposure for the appellation's terroirs, but no specific orientation for La Colombière has been documented.

Histoire de la parcelle
The Côte-d'Or departmental archives attest to the late 15th-century early form "Es Courvées dessoubs la Colombière", considered one of the antecedents of the current name. The site has long belonged to the winemaking heritage of the Liger-Belair family, though this continuity of ownership does not necessarily encompass the entirety of the lieu-dit.
