Mongeard Mugneret - Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2019

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "From two parcels—one in Grand Maupertui and another in Les Chioures (next to Méo Camuzet's)—the 2019 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru opens in the glass with notes of cherries, raspberries and spices, complemented by hints of licorice, rose petals and rich soil tones. Full-bodied, layered and velvety, with fine depth at the core, lively acids and fine-grained tannins, it's a rather suave, elegant rendition of Mongeard-Mugneret's Clos Vougeot."

WINE SPECTATOR: " A rich, spicy version, this red boasts black cherry, blackberry, loam, vanilla and smoke flavors. Well-defined, with assertive tannins that frame the lingering finish. Just a bit chunky in the end. Best from 2026 through 2045. 210 cases made, 50 cases imported."
