The wines from Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret are known for their elegance and intensity. The Echézeaux Grand Cru boasts rich red fruit compote and floral notes on the nose. On the palate, the tannins are fine grained and well integrated, giving excellent structure to the wine. This is a superb wine, which will live for a long time.
Owned by Vincent and Anne Mongeard, Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret is located in the village of Vosne-Romanée. The domaine comprises over 30 hectares of vineyards in 35 Burgundy appellations, ranging from villages-level to Grand Cru. Vincent and Anne practice sustainable viticulture, ‘la lutte raisonnée’, with a focus on improving soil health with manure and compost. They also put a lot of thought into choosing the perfect, fine-grain oak barrels for maturation. Oak is carefully selected from Nièvre and Tronçais in Allier, before being cured at the domaine for 18-24 months and assembled into barrels by a local cooper. Each barrel is used for up to five years.
