The 2019 Mongeard-Mugneret Richebourg Grand Cru is a powerful yet finely detailed Burgundy Pinot Noir from one of Vosne-Romanée’s most celebrated Grand Cru vineyards. The warmer 2019 vintage delivers impressive concentration while retaining the balance and structure expected from Richebourg. Aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and dark plum are layered with violet, spice, forest floor and subtle earthy complexity.
On the palate, the wine is deep and structured, showing velvety tannins, vibrant acidity and remarkable persistence. The fruit profile is rich yet controlled, supported by savoury notes of cedar, clove and mineral nuance that continue to unfold with air. Oak integration is seamless, allowing the vineyard character and texture to remain the focus. While already expressive with decanting, the wine has the structure and depth for extended cellaring.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional Grand Cru Burgundy for collectors seeking both immediate complexity and long-term ageing potential. Best approached with extended decanting in its youth or cellared over the next 15–20 years for further development. Pairs beautifully with roast duck, beef Wellington, game dishes or aged cheeses such as Comté and Gruyère.
