Chambolle-Musigny 1er cru Feusselottes 2020 - Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg

Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Feusselottes 2020 — Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg

This Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Feusselottes 2020 from Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg embodies one of the most delicate and sensual expressions of Chambolle-Musigny. From a terroir of red soils with rocky outcrops, it offers a Pinot Noir of great finesse: black cherry, red fruits, violet, flowers, discreet spices, truffle, fine earth, silky texture and very long aromatic persistence.

Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg is sought after for the purity of its wines, their delicate touch and their balance between depth and elegance. Les Feusselottes stands out through a particularly floral and refined expression of Chambolle, less marked by power than by perfume, fruit precision and length. The 2020 vintage brings concentration and ripeness while preserving the airy grace of the climat.

Terroir: Les Feusselottes, floral finesse and Chambolle red soils

The Les Feusselottes climat is located in Chambolle-Musigny, an emblematic Côte de Nuits village known for the finesse, floral grace and silky texture of its Pinot Noir. The parcel owned by Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg, purchased by Georges Mugneret in 1985, lies on red soils with rocky outcrops in places, producing a wine of precision, delicacy and great persistence.

This terroir favours an expression that is more airy than massive: flowers, spice, black cherry, red fruits, violet, fine truffle and discreet minerality. In the naturally ripe and concentrated 2020 vintage, Les Feusselottes retains the elegance of Chambolle while gaining depth, flesh and complexity. The palate remains generous, yet always held by silky grain and a long finish.

Tasting notes

Appearance: beautiful garnet robe with deep ruby reflections, bright, clear and still very youthful in expression. The colour shows the ripeness of the 2020 vintage while retaining the brilliance and transparency typical of great Pinot Noir from Chambolle-Musigny.

Nose: refined, floral and highly expressive, with notes of violet, fresh flowers, black cherry, ripe red fruits, small black berries, discreet spices and a touch of truffle. With aeration, nuances of fine earth, light forest floor, sweet pepper, delicate liquorice and rocky minerality may appear.

Palate: generous, complex and silky, with a broad yet delicate texture. Flavours of black cherry, violet, red fruits, fine spices and truffle unfold with precision, supported by fine tannins and well-integrated freshness. The finish is very long, floral, elegant and persistent, leaving an impression of purity and grace typical of Chambolle.

Expression of the 2020 vintage

The 2020 vintage in Burgundy produced ripe, concentrated and intense wines, but the great terroirs of the Côte de Nuits often preserved very fine definition. In Les Feusselottes, the richness of the vintage appears through a generous palate, deep fruit and a more enveloping texture, while the Chambolle terroir preserves floral finesse, freshness and delicacy of grain.

Today, this Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Feusselottes 2020 remains young and deserves extended ageing. It can already impress through its aromatic brightness, ripe fruit and silky texture, but it will gain complexity with time: truffle, forest floor, dried flowers, melted spices, noble earth and more mineral nuances should gradually enrich its profile.
