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.
