Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Petits Monts Mongeard-Mugneret (Domaine) 2014

The wine

In a soil of chalk and clay, the 50-year-old vines produce a wine with aromas of ripe cherries and violet. Later, these evolve into notes of leather and earth. Its ample palate, along with its silky tannins, offer a fine and elegant wine.

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.
