Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret exploits a large expanse of vineyard in true Burgundian tradition, spread over the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune regions, including the most prestigious villages (Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle Musigny, Vougeot, Nuits Saint Georges and Savigny les Beaune). At the heart of their exploitation is Vosne-Romanée. Vincent Mongeard, son of Jean, is devoted not only to maintaining and improving his family heritage, but also expanding it whenever the opportunity arises, with a view to widening the domain’s range. The estate currently cultivates around 30 hectares – spread over 33 appellations – and produce white Burgundy and Aligotés as well as, and especially, red wines from the finest climates in the Côte. The vineyard sits at mid-slope with a south-eastern orientation and clay-limestone soils. This domain produce wonderful cuvées; sophisticated and delicate, they have a superb velvety texture.
The Hautes-Côtes-de-Nuits "Les Dames Huguettes" cuvée is aged in oak barrels (with one pre-use). Opening with aromas of red and dark fruits, it has astounding strength in the mouth, without altering its finesse and fine length.
