Terroir, Viticulture, and Vinification at the Mugneret Gibourg Estate

Terroir plays an essential role in the reputation of Mugneret Gibourg wines. The vineyards are cultivated with an environmentally friendly approach, implementing sustainable viticultural practices. The diverse soils of Burgundy, rich in limestone and clay, contribute to the complexity of the wines.

Viticulture is carried out with precision to ensure a harvest of grapes at optimal maturity. Today, Marie-Christine and Marie-Andrée Mugneret respect Pinot Noir to the maximum extent possible, a grape they are fortunate to vinify. They aim to preserve all the finesse, fruit, and freshness of Pinot Noir! Harvests are often manual, allowing for a rigorous selection of clusters. Regarding vinification, the estate favors gentle and traditional methods, with natural fermentation and moderate use of wood during barrel aging. This Pinot Noir - Terroir match contributes to the richness and diversity of the magnificent Burgundian vineyard.
