i. Biography
Marie-Andrée Nauleau is winemaker and vineyard manager at Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg in Vosne-Romanée, France. The role joins vine and cellar work in one line of responsibility, with the same hand reading the parcel and carrying that read through to the wine. In a region where detail is close held and history is always present, the work calls for restraint, clarity, and a steady sense of what each site is asking for.
The Climb
Training at University of Burgundy, Dijon gave Marie-Andrée Nauleau a foundation shaped by one of France’s most exacting wine regions. That kind of preparation is less about flash than about discipline: soil, season, timing, and the patience required to work with them before the important decisions begin. At Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg, that education supports a practice that moves between vineyard and cellar with equal attention. As winemaker and vineyard manager, Marie-Andrée Nauleau works from detail outward, keeping the vineyard’s character present in both the field and the finished wine.
Today
At the domaine, Nauleau holds the combined role of winemaker and vineyard manager. The position makes the scope clear: the vineyard is not a separate supplier to the cellar, but part of the same working system, with condition, balance, and expression all under review. Decisions made in the rows and decisions made in the cellar sit in the same chain, and that continuity is where the work gains coherence. The wine outside and inside the winery is not treated as two stories, but as one process.
