91/100 – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
92/100 – Allen Meadows, Burghound
The 2019 Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Les Narbantons from Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret in Vosne-Romanée is excellent. Awarding 91/100 points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate names it ‘another success, mingling notes of cherries and plums with hints of spices and mandarin rind. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and round, it’s gourmand and generous, with enough powdery tannin to balance out the sucrosity of the ripe vintage’. High praise indeed, and other critics added more praise.
Wine Spectator notes, ‘Dark, spicy and well-marked by black cherry and blackberry fruit notes. More fluid than dense, this unfolds nicely to reveal floral, mineral and spice flavours. Fine balance and very long on the finish. Drink now through 2028.’
This delicious wine has an intense ruby colour. The bouquet is elegant and powerful, dominated by red fruits. Concentrated and full of tannins, it combines character, finesse and elegance. It is drinking well now and will cellar well for a decade.
Case of six bottles. RRP £450 plus delivery. CCUK £317 including UK mainland delivery (courier surcharge for Highlands and Islands).
Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret
Vincent Mongeard and his wife Anne are the 8th generation custodians of Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret, established when Vincent’s grandparents pooled their vineyard resources in the 1920s. The domaine is located in Vosne-Romanée in the heart of the Côtes de Nuits.
The Domaine has vineyards in 28 appellations totalling over 30 hectares, ranging from Villages to Grand Cru. Vincent has a passion for Pinot Noir and predominantly makes red wines. ‘Reasoned viticulture’ (sustainable) is practiced with a focus on soil health. Manure and composts are used to improve soil health. A lot of thought goes into selecting the perfect fine grain oak for maturation. Vincent personally picks his own oak from Nièvre and the Tronçais forest in Allier. The oak is cured at the domaine for 18-24 months and a local cooper assembles the barrels for them.
