Energy takes the lead in the 2020 Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots, with vivid red and black berry fruit wrapped in floral perfume, warm spice and a subtle saline edge. The palate is concentrated yet finely detailed, its ripe fruit and generous alcohol checked by bright acidity and firm but polished tannins, finishing long and tightly coiled. This is a powerful, old-vine Chaignots that will reward patience as its structure and intensity knit together in bottle.
Roast duck with cherry jus; Herb-crusted lamb rack; Wild mushroom and Comté tart

Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg’s Nuits‑Saint‑Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots is a pure Pinot Noir from old vines high on the slope, giving a Nuits with a touch of Vosne‑like perfume: dark ruby in colour, marrying red and black fruits with floral, spicy and subtly earthy notes. Typically medium to full-bodied yet finely textured, it combines supple, powdery tannins and lively acidity with a long, elegant finish, offering both early charm and the depth to age gracefully.
