Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru En Orveaux Mongeard-Mugneret (Domaine)

The wine

The Mongeard-Mugneret domain now operates an expansive vineyard network, following the best Burgundy traditions. It covers land in the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, including some of the most prestigious villages (Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Savigny-lès-Beaune). The heart of the operation remains in Vosne-Romanée. Vincent Mongeard (Jean's son) strives not only to maintain and enhance the family heritage, but also to expand it whenever the opportunity arises, in order to extend the domain's range. The operation now includes around 30 hectares of land, spread across 33 appellations producing not only white Burgundy and Aligoté wines, but also – and mainly – red wines from the Côte's finest vineyards. The vines are located mid-slope, facing south-east, on limestone-clay soil. This domain produces excellent, racy, delicate cuvées with superb velvety textures.
Produced from vines aged between 25 and 50 years, this cuvée is vinified using one-third new wood. On tasting, the bouquet is immediately seductive with its aromas of red berries (raspberry, blackcurrant); the palate reveals an attractively full-bodied, rich substance which is nonetheless countered by an attractive freshness and silky texture. A good balance overall.
