2012 Mugneret-Gibourg Nuits-St.-Georges 1er Cru 'Les Chaignots'

ETA Early June 2025 The Mugnerets care for their vineyards sustainably, using natural treatments if necessary (but very infrequently). Plowing between the rows to control weed growth and green harvesting to control yields is the norm. Grapes are harvested by hand and are sorted on a sorting table at the cellar. Fruit is destemmed and fermented in temperature-controlled tanks on indigenous yeasts. Wines are aged in French oak barrels for 18 months; villages wines see 10-20 percent new wood; premier cru wines 30-50 percent; and grand cru wines up to 70 percent. Wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered.
