Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg Vosne-Romanée 2008

The 2008 Vosne-Romanée from Mugneret-Gibourg is open and ready for business, showing grace and Vosne beauty. The palate is fully open, offering juicy fruit and energetic Vosne notes.

This is not a big wine, but rather a display of the core of Vosne as I like it – the fresh, vivid fruit, the coolness of 2008, and the vivid spiciness of the appellation. I adore wines like this.

We now have March 3rd, and both DRC, Louis-Michel Liger-Belair, and not surprisingly Domaine Leroy still have the top vineyards left unpruned. The tendency is later pruning, which is confirmed by ...
