Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Boudots Mongeard-Mugneret (Domaine) 2012

The wine

Vigorous to being with, this wine will soften over time. Its sweet aromas are refined and perfumed by notes of blackcurrant and green wood. On the palate, it has a fascinatingly delicate body, with aromas of fennel and red fruits that evolve. The acidity is perfect, allowing for superb ageing.

About the Producer Mongeard-Mugneret

Today, the Mongeard-Mugneret domain manages, in true Burgundy tradition, a large number of vineyards which spread across the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune, encompassing the most prestigious "villages" (Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle Musigny, Vougeot, Nuits Saint Georges and Savigny les Beaune). The heart of the domain remains at Vosne Romanée. Vincent Longeard, Jean's son, endeavours not only to look after and improve the family's heritage, but also to extend the domain's range of wines whenever an opportunity arises. Today, the domain counts roughly 30 hectares, spread over 33 appellations producing Burgundy whites and Aligotés, but it mainly produces red wines that come from the best vineyards of the Côte. The vineyard, situated at mid-slope, is south-east orientated and on clay-limestone soil.
