The Mugneret sisters harvested between September 5 and 8 in 2015, chaptalizing their wines only by 0.1% or 0.2% to prolong the fermentations by a day or two. “It was a very ripe year but we picked early enough,” noted Marie-Christine Mugneret, whose daughter had just had a baby boy, the first male member of the family since her father Georges Mugneret was born in 1926. Marie-Christine noted that the colors of the ‘15s “were like Côtes du Rhones early on, but now they’re a more classic ruby.”
Incidentally, four hectares from the original Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg property that were previously tied up in a métayage arrangement with Fabrice Vigot have now reverted back to the Mugnerets, which gives the family the equivalent of another two hectares of vines.
