The 2020 Mongeard-Mugneret Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru is a prestigious Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most celebrated Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte de Nuits, presented here in a rare 3L Double Magnum format. Produced by a historic Vosne-Romanée domaine, it reflects both the power and elegance of this renowned terroir, with the 2020 vintage delivering exceptional ripeness and balance.
The nose is intensely aromatic and layered, showing red cherry, raspberry and dark berry fruit, alongside violet, spice, forest floor and subtle oak notes. There is a classic Vosne-Romanée perfume, combining floral lift with earthy complexity and depth.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a silky yet structured texture and fine, polished tannins. Layers of red and dark fruit, spice and mineral nuances are supported by fresh acidity, leading to a long, elegant and persistent finish. The 2020 vintage offers both richness and precision, with excellent ageing potential.
The 3L Double Magnum format allows the wine to evolve more slowly, enhancing complexity and integration over time - making it highly desirable for collectors and long-term cellaring.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a collector-level Grand Cru Burgundy, representing the pinnacle of Pinot Noir. Compared to Premier Cru wines, this is deeper, more complex and significantly more age-worthy. The 2020 vintage adds generosity and approachability, while still retaining structure. In 3L format, it becomes a true centrepiece for collectors, premium gifting or special occasions. Drink from 2026 onwards or cellar for 15–25+ years. Perfect with duck, game birds, truffle dishes or fine French cuisine.
