Women of the domain - Domaines Mugneret-Gibourg et Georges Mugneret

<h1>Domaines Mugneret-Gibourg et Georges Mugneret</h1> <h3>Women of the domain</h3> The domain today is headed by Marie-Christine and Marie-Andrée Mugneret, both managing the vinification and maturing of the wines. <h4>Jacqueline</h4> Back to origins... Born in Algeria, Jacqueline was raised in a winemaking culture thanks to her grandfather - from Béarn in southwestern France – who was a winemaker on the slopes of Medea in the Atlas Mountains. At that time, Jacqueline was little interested in winemaking and became a schoolteacher after graduating from the Ecole Normale in Alger. She met Georges Mugneret during the war in Algeria and followed him to France, where she worked in the French school system until 1968. Gradually she gave a hand to her husband on the domain, as he continued to exercise his two chosen professions, and thus she became more and more involved in the family domain. Burgundy conquered her heart. She had put down roots, and so decided, after Georges’ death, to continue working on the domain with her two daughters. She definitively adopted Burgundy. With calm, determination, and perpetual good humour, she was fully equipped to continue the family tradition. She is the one who keeps up the morale of the troops, and who would not miss a visit from the many faithful customers who follow the generations and the vintages... <h4>Marie Christine</h4> A dream comes true... Born nine years after Marie-Christine, her childhood and adolescence were cradled by the vines and the wine. Thrilled to see her grandfather "make the wine," from a very young age, she dreamt of taking over the family domain with her father. Tragically, she was only 20 when her father died, and she thought her dream would disappear as well, but she was reassured when her sister decided to take up the challenge with their mother. She continued her university studies in oenology and joined her mother and her sister in 1992 after she obtained her National Oeonology Diploma, and then enriched her knowledge of viticulture in the field. She married Loïc Nauleau in 1992, a native of the Vendée (on the Atlantic coast of France), who followed her to Burgundy. Loïc and Marie-Andrée have two daughters: Marion, born in 1994, and Fanny, born in 1997. Today Marie-Andrée looks after the well-being of the vineyard and manages its business activities. As her sister, she takes great pleasure in finding moments during her busy days to welcome the domain's long-standing wine connoisseurs and customers. <h4>Marie Andrée</h4> From pharmacy to oenology... Born in 1959, she followed her father into the medical field, obtaining her Doctor's Degree in Pharmacy in 1983. The subject of her thesis was "Wine - Is it a Medicine?" At the beginning of 1988, when her father became ill once again, she returned to the domain to give a hand, and decided with her mother and her sister to work on the domain. Her husband, Eric Teillaud - also a pharmacist - helped them with the vinification in addition to his professional pharmacological research, before Marie-Andrée's arrival. Even though "making the wine" had been part of her vocabulary since she was very young, and her degree in pharmacy gave her the chemical background for wine, she nevertheless studied oenology at the University of Dijon. Marie-Christine has two daughters - Lucie, born in 1985, and Clemence, born in 1991. Marie-Christine and Marie-Andrée share complete responsibility for the vinification of the wine. All through the year, Marie-Christine supervises the wine as it ages and develops, and takes particular personal care over the bottling at the Domain. <a
