2022 Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret Echezeaux Grand Cru

Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret farms an impressive 75 acres of vineyards across much of the Cote d'Or in Burgundy, covering 35 separate appellations. While this leads to many different styles of wines to be produced, their house style leans towards rich and supple wines, with impressive concentration that show well in their youth yet age with ease. Other than a portion of their Richebourg, all grapes are fully destemmed before a cool soak of 4-5 days prior to alcoholic fermentation. As a guide no more than 50% new oak is used in their premier cru wines, while up to 70% is used in their top grand cru plots. The wines are bottled after 18-22 months with no filtration.

Other Reviews....
An overlay of white pepper and grilled oranges to the ripe but nuanced berry fruit. Touches of dark minerals, forest floor, mushrooms and dark spices as well. Properly structured yet delicate and transparent, with a medium to full body and a lasting finish hallmarked by tension and great length. A joy to taste now, as it is perfectly balanced and refined, but it will become more complex in the next five years. Better after 2027.
