Vougeot 1er Cru Les Petits Vougeots Mongeard-Mugneret (Domaine) (no reserve) 2018
The wine
Near to plots of Clos de Vouegot, Les Amoureuses, and Musigny, this wine has a fine, aromatic richness to it. It is ruby red in colour with strong shades of purple. On the nose, an aromatic bouquet explodes with aromas of flowers, hawthorn, and tart cherry, leading to a certain depth on the palate. The delicate profile of this wine’s tannins balance with a touch of spice, a masterful acidic underscore, and a persistent finish.
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.
