The 2023 Mongeard-Mugneret Grands-Echézeaux is an exceptional 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 concentration, elegance and remarkable ageing potential. The 2023 vintage delivered ripe fruit purity balanced by vibrant acidity and refined tannin structure, resulting in a wine of both power and finesse. The nose is intensely layered and expressive, revealing aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and plum alongside violet, exotic 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 depth, balance and exceptional length. Flavours of dark berry fruits, red cherry and cranberry unfold alongside savoury notes of clove, dried herbs and finely integrated oak developed through careful maturation. The limestone-rich soils of Grands-Echézeaux contribute notable mineral tension and refinement, while careful élevage preserves purity and aromatic precision. The finish is long, dry and elegant with lingering dark fruit, spice and earthy nuances that continue to evolve in the glass.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding and highly collectible Grand Cru Burgundy for customers seeking a cellar-worthy Pinot Noir with exceptional depth, finesse and vineyard pedigree. The 2023 vintage already shows remarkable balance while retaining the structure to evolve beautifully over the next 15–20 years. Best served slightly below room temperature with roast duck, venison, truffle dishes or aged soft-rind cheeses.
