Region: Burgundy, France

Vintage: 2021

Composition: 100% Pinot Noir

History: Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret is a Burgundy estate with a long history of making fine Pinot Noir wines in Vosne-Romanée. Pinot Noir is the most significant variety in the portfolio, supplemented with a small number of white wines made from Chardonnay and Aligoté. The white wines tend not to come from the more prestigious grand and premier cru-designated vineyards that the domaine is famous for.

Tasting Notes: 

Echezeaux wines 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 torre´faction, 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.
