Dominique Mugneret

When 22-year-old Marcel Mugneret created his own wine domaine in 1935, he never realized it would evolve into one of the most applauded wineries in the entire Vosne appellation. The estate was passed on to Marcel’s son, Denis, and then again to Denis’s son, Dominique. It wasn’t until 1982 that Dominique decided to take over his grandfather’s rapidly growing land and estate following the completion of his viticultural degree at wine school in Grandchamps, just outside of Beaune. After full taking over the estate in 1999, Dominique Mugneret began skillfully crafting wines in the appellation of Vosne known for being silky and supple. Over time the domaine has accumulated more land throughout the Cote de Nuits, and today the estate makes 13 appellations over eight hectares with a strong emphasis on organic and biodynamic farming. Although the wines are exceptional, production is limited and bottlings can be difficult to acquire.
