The 2023 Mongeard-Mugneret Vosne-Romanee Les Orveaux is a refined and aromatic Burgundy Pinot Noir from a highly regarded vineyard site situated near some of Vosne-Romanee’s leading Premier and Grand Cru holdings. The 2023 vintage delivers a balance of concentration and freshness, with lifted aromas of red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry layered alongside violet, subtle spice and delicate earthy notes.
On the palate, it is elegant and finely structured, showing silky tannins, bright acidity and a mineral-driven finish that reflects the limestone-rich soils of the Côte de Nuits. The wine combines pure red fruit with savoury complexity and restrained oak influence, creating a focused and polished expression of Vosne-Romanée. With air, additional notes of cedar, dried herbs and forest floor gradually emerge.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Burgundy for Pinot Noir enthusiasts seeking a more site-driven expression of Vosne-Romanee with both finesse and ageing potential. Drinking well with decanting in its youth, though it will continue to evolve gracefully over the next 10–15 years. Ideal with roast duck, mushroom dishes, grilled quail or herb-roasted lamb.
