Mongeard-Mugneret Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2016
From Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret in Vosne-Romanée, Côte de Nuits, the Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2016 is a refined Pinot Noir from a 0.3-hectare parcel in the 50.12-hectare Clos de Vougeot vineyard. Sourced from organic vineyards with 50-year-old vines on clay-limestone soils, it’s hand-harvested and aged 16–20 months in French oak barrels (50% new), offering a ruby hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A sumptuous, elegant red with rich fruit and earthy finesse, showcasing Vougeot’s terroir.
The nose reveals black cherry, plum, and cassis, with hints of spice, violet, and smoky earth. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and harmonious, with fine tannins, fresh acidity, and flavors of red fruit, licorice, and a long, mineral finish.
