Information
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.
This Echézeaux Grand Cru comes from vines of twenty-five to sixty years old growing on hard limestone soil with a high clay content. The wine is matured for 60 to 80% in new barrels. In its youth it is distinguished by red fruits aromas but also vanilla, roasted and smoked notes. It evolves then towards animal notes of undergrowth and truffle. It is powerful and silky, with fine and delicate tannins. After ageing for ten years, it expresses its full potential.
