One of Burgundy’s great domaines, Mongeard-Mugneret Bourgogne Hautes-Cotes de Nuits Cuvée Prestige ‘La Croix’ 2019 from Vosne-Romanée: case of six bottles
Original price was: £288.00.£178.00Current price is: £178.00.
One of Burgundy’s premier domaines, Mongeard-Mugneret Bourgogne Hautes-Cotes de Nuits Cuvée Prestige ‘La Croix’ 2019 is excellent—it is currently on the wine list in several of the leading London restaurants.
It is a deep ruby red with notable purity expressed in its freshness and intense aromas of wild raspberry, gooseberry and blackcurrant. Its acidity is well balanced with subtle, velvety tannins, and fruity flavours. The climate of the Hautes-Côtes is harsher than that of the Côte; the air circulates more freely through the valleys and over the hills, and winter temperatures sometimes fall as low as -15°C. The ‘La Croix’ site is planted to have good sun exposure to compensate for the effects of the higher altitude. The soils are calcareous and the vines are 30 years old.
Pairs beautifully with young grouse, wood pigeon, partridge, duck, goose, roe venison, suckling pig and turkey.
Case of six bottles. RRP £288. CCUK £178 including UK mainland delivery (courier surcharge for Highlands and Islands).

Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret
Jean Mongeard has been a key figure within Burgundy serving as the President of the Association des Viticulteurs de la Cote d`Or for many years. He is also one of the most prominent growers in Vosne-Romanée. In 1985 he handed over responsibility for winemaking to his 29-year-old son Vincent. The Domaine has 20 hectares of vineyards, including small parcels of Clos de Vougeot and Richebourg. These are sturdy, concentrated, well-proportioned wines that over the years have become more elegant and refined.
The domaine comprises over 30 hectares of vineyards in 35 Burgundy appellations, ranging from villages-level to Grand Cru. Vincent and his wife Anne practice sustainable viticulture, ‘la lutte raisonnée’, with a focus on improving soil health with manure and compost. They also put a lot of thought into choosing the perfect, fine-grain oak barrels for maturation. Oak is carefully selected from Nièvre and Tronçais in Allier, before being cured at the domaine for 18-24 months and assembled into barrels by a local cooper. Each barrel is used for up to five years.
