This bottle of 1990 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru was actually labelled "Georges Mugneret" although it was made by sisters, Marie-Christine and Marie-Andrée (and it was the latter who was pouring the wine). It offered a mature, quite floral bouquet with plenty of red berry fruit and touches of chlorophyll, nicely defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with a chunky and dense opening, what you might call a burly in style but with good acidity. Foursquare and muscular, it is a commendable Clos Vougeot albeit one that lacks the finesse that the Mugneret-Gibourg domaine produces today. Tasted November 2016.
