A couple living in Vancouver built their wine collection over the pandemic, taking advantage of the time available for research and the enjoyment of wine. During their travels before the pandemic, they had discovered producers and styles that intrigued them—collecting wine from the places they had visited or finding bottles they had enjoyed along the way became a way to break the monotony of quarantine. A relationship was established with Morrell Wine, specifically with their representative from the importer, who played a significant role in helping them refine their vision for the ideal collection. Most of their bottles were stored at Morrell’s cellar prior to their move to Canada, though they kept a few cases in a carefully maintained cellar in their Austin high-rise. To ensure the collection’s safe transport, they worked with the expert team at Xpeditr, coordinating its secure transfer from Morrell and Austin to a new cellar in Vancouver in 2022, where the bottles have remained since import. They now hope these bottles will find a home with someone who truly appreciates wine and the shared moments it fosters, whether they are new to collecting or seasoned enthusiasts.
The rating for 2014 Domaine Georges Mugneret Gibourg Ruchottes Chambertin Grand Cru is 98 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Ruchottes Chambertin Grand Cru from Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg has a powerful, fruit-driven bouquet with layers of cranberry, pomegranate and raspberry preserves. There is a sense of volume here. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, plenty of succulent black fruit laced with tobacco and white pepper, leading to a structured, grippy finish that should see this repay cellaring. It is a serious wine for serious Burgundy lovers, one of the highlights of the vintage that surpasses even my own lofty predictions from barrel.
