The 2023 Mongeard-Mugneret Gevrey-Chambertin is a classic Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most renowned appellations in France. Produced by Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret, this wine reflects the structure, depth and savoury complexity traditionally associated with Gevrey-Chambertin while maintaining finesse and freshness. The 2023 vintage delivered ripe fruit purity balanced by vibrant acidity and refined tannins. The nose is expressive and layered, revealing aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and plum alongside violet, spice and subtle earthy forest-floor nuances.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with polished tannins and bright acidity that provide balance and persistence throughout. Flavours of dark berry fruits, red cherry and cranberry unfold alongside savoury notes of dried herbs, clove and restrained oak influence developed through careful maturation. The limestone-rich soils of Gevrey-Chambertin contribute mineral tension and depth, while careful élevage preserves purity and aromatic precision. The finish is long, dry and finely structured with lingering dark fruit, spice and earthy nuances.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Burgundy for customers seeking a structured yet elegant Pinot Noir with classic Gevrey-Chambertin character and strong ageing potential. The 2023 vintage is approachable now with decanting while retaining the capacity to evolve beautifully over the next 10–15 years. Best served slightly below room temperature with roast duck, lamb, mushroom dishes or aged soft-rind cheeses.
