Domaine Gérard Mugneret — Vosne-Romanée
Located in the heart of Vosne-Romanée, Domaine Gérard Mugneret is one of the most respected and understated names in the Côte de Nuits. With nearly 7 hectares spread across Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Chambolle-Musigny, Savigny-lès-Beaune and Flagey-Echézeaux, the Mugneret family upholds a long tradition of pure, elegant expressions of Burgundy’s finest terroirs.
Since 2005, Pascal Mugneret has carried the family legacy forward with a strong focus on living soils and terroir expression: progressive conversion to biodynamic farming, total abandonment of herbicides and thoughtful use of whole clusters. Every step is guided by precision, transparency and respect for the land.
