Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits La Croix 2022
£40.95
The wine
Notable purity, expressed in intense wild raspberry, hibiscus and blackcurrant leaf. Youthful and fruit-forward, with a well-balanced freshness.
The Hautes-Côtes de Nuits lies in the hills behind the famous slope, several hundred metres higher and correspondingly cooler, which has turned from a handicap into an advantage as the climate has warmed. La Croix is a named parcel. Carefully selected and cleaned before destemming, then given a light maceration.
