2023 Mongeard-Mugneret Echézeaux Half Bottle (375ml)

The 2023 Mongeard-Mugneret Echézeaux Half Bottle (375ml) is a Grand Cru Burgundy from one of the Côte de Nuits’ most prestigious vineyard sites in Vosne-Romanée, France. Produced exclusively from Pinot Noir by Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret, this wine reflects the estate’s traditional style, combining richness, elegance and refined vineyard expression. The 2023 vintage delivered ripe fruit purity balanced by vibrant acidity and polished tannins, resulting in a wine with both depth and finesse. The nose is layered and expressive, revealing aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and plum alongside violet, spice, forest floor and subtle earthy minerality.

On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky yet persistent tannins and bright acidity that provide balance and remarkable length. 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 Echézeaux contribute notable mineral tension and finesse, 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 outstanding Grand Cru Burgundy for collectors and customers seeking a cellar-worthy Pinot Noir with finesse, depth and classic Vosne-Romanée character. The 2023 vintage already shows impressive balance while retaining the capacity to evolve beautifully over the next 15–20 years. Best served slightly below room temperature with roast duck, venison, mushroom dishes or aged soft-rind cheeses.
