Domaine Georges Mugneret
The name Georges Mugneret historically refers to a family-run estate in Vosne-Romanée, in the Côte de Nuits. Founded around the vineyards acquired by Georges Mugneret, it was merged in 2009 to form the Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg. The estate is now run by his daughters, Marie-Christine and Marie-Andrée Mugneret, and cultivates just over 8 hectares spread across nine appellations.

Histoire du domaine
Jeanne Gibourg and André Mugneret, who married in 1928, settled in Vosne-Romanée in 1930. They founded Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg in 1933, producing wines from Burgundy, Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Échezeaux, amongst others. Their only son, Georges Mugneret (1929–1988), practised as an ophthalmologist in Dijon whilst developing the family’s wine-growing business. He gradually built up Domaine Georges Mugneret by acquiring plots of land, including part of Clos de Vougeot in 1953, a premier cru in Nuits-Saint-Georges in 1971, Ruchottes-Chambertin in 1977, Les Vignes Rondes in Nuits-Saint-Georges in 1982 and Les Feusselottes in Chambolle-Musigny in 1985. Following the death of Georges Mugneret in 1988, his wife Jacqueline ensured the estate’s continuity alongside their daughters Marie-Christine and Marie-Andrée. Marie-Christine trained in oenology and joined the estate, whilst Marie-Andrée, a graduate in oenology from the University of Burgundy, joined them in 1992. The two family estates, Mugneret-Gibourg and Georges Mugneret, were merged in 2009 under the name Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg. Jacqueline then retired, and Marie-Christine and Marie-Andrée took over the running of the estate. Marie-Christine oversees the wines during their ageing and bottling, whilst Marie-Andrée is specifically responsible for the vineyard and marketing.
