Tasting Notes
Mongeard-Mugneret Echezeaux are a clear garnet or ruby red, the exact hue often varying considerably. When young these wines have vanilla-scented, smoky, woody aromas or a hint of torrefaction, combined with suggestions of red fruits and spices. After a few years the nose becomes vegetable or animal, with scents of mushrooms, truffles or woodland undergrowth. The great complexity of the bouquet makes this a wine both rich and feminine; fat and mellow, with fine, delicate and fairly supple tannins. In the mouth the attack is spirited, the balance pleasant and there is a succulent fullness with aromas of red fruits. - Winery Note
Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret is a prominent and historic Burgundy estate based in Vosne-Romanée, with family roots in the region stretching back to 1620. Unusually for Burgundy, the domaine owns an expansive 30 hectares of vineyards spread across an impressive 35 different appellations in the Côte de Nuits and beyond, from regional AOCs to some of Burgundy's most coveted Grand Crus. These diverse holdings feature primarily Pinot Noir vines with an average age exceeding 40 years, planted on ideal mid-slope, clay-limestone soils, providing the foundation for concentrated and complex wines.
The winery's approach, guided by Vincent and Alexandre Mongeard, emphasizes sustainable viticulture and rigorous selection in the vineyard. Grapes are typically destemmed, fermented with indigenous yeasts after a cold maceration, and aged for up to two years in oak barrels that are carefully managed in-house. The amount of new French oak used increases with the wine's classification, ranging from 25% for village wines to nearly 100% for top Grand Crus, a key element in defining their signature style.
The resulting wines are characterized by a powerful, rich, and concentrated profile that is built to age. While approachable in their youth, they are known for their structure and depth, developing complex secondary aromas of earth, mushroom, and spice over time. The domaine’s most iconic and sought-after bottles include significant holdings in the Échezeaux and Grands Échezeaux Grand Crus, which are highly prized by collectors worldwide.
