Here too there is just enough wood present to remark upon with its spicy and almost Vosne-like nose though the background earth scents on the ripe plum and dark cherry scents remind one that this is still a Nuits. The...

The 2016 Vignes Rondes from Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg has really taken nicely to the inherent elegance of the vintage and this may well be the finest young vintage of this cuvée that I have ever tasted here. Normally...

The 2016 Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg Nuits St Georges les Vignes Rondes is a Pinot Noir hailing from the renowned Burgundy region of France, specifically the Cote de Nuits sub-region within the Nuits St Georges appellation. This vintage has drawn notable attention from wine critics, earning high praise for its distinctive characteristics.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded this wine a score of 91, describing it as having a "wild bouquet of grilled game, dark berries and rich soil." The review notes that while the wine is "medium to full-bodied" with "assertive Nuits tannins," it is currently quite reserved and might benefit from a decade of aging to reach its full potential.

Vinous, another respected source, rated this wine at 92 points, highlighting its "captivating stony pungency" and flavors of "crushed black cherry, blackberry and minerals." Reviewer Stephen Tanzer noted its "lovely clarity and inner-mouth tension" and praised its "excellent sneaky length for village wine." He also mentioned the age of the vines, averaging 50 years, which adds to the wine's complexity and depth.

John Gilman from View From The Cellar echoed the high praise with another 92-point rating. He remarked on the wine's elegance, suggesting it may be the finest young vintage he has tasted from this cuvée. Gilman appreciated its "beautiful bouquet of cherries, red plums" and "Vosne-like spices," emphasizing its "pure, full-bodied and soil-driven" personality with "fine-grained tannins."

Overall, the 2016 Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg Nuits St Georges les Vignes Rondes is a wine that deftly balances complexity and elegance, with reviewers particularly impressed by its nuanced flavors and aging potential.
