Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Plateaux 2023
£98.95
The wine
Full and firm, with a deep intense colour and rich, complex aromas of cherries, blackcurrants and truffles. Earthy on the palate with hints of spice, and a very firm structure.
Nuits-Saint-Georges is mostly hollows and rising ground, but Les Plateaux is what its name suggests, a flatter plot. The commune has no grand cru, which keeps prices below its neighbours despite the quality of the best sites. Hand sorted and destemmed, then a 48-hour pre-fermentation maceration at 10 degrees.

View all Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret winesIn Vosne-Romanée, the most illustrious village of the Côte de Nuits, Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret is a name of real pedigree. The family has grown vines here for centuries, and today the estate holds an enviable collection of grand and premier cru sites. Its cellars run deep with history.
The domaine farms with care across some of Burgundy most hallowed ground, from village Vosne to the legendary Richebourg. Traditional winemaking, generous fruit, and well-judged oak give wines of both power and perfume. The style is opulent yet precise.
This is a rare chance to taste the grandest names of the Côte de Nuits under one roof. Echézeaux, Clos de Vougeot, and Richebourg sit alongside characterful village and premier cru bottlings. Each speaks of its exalted origin.
To open a Mongeard-Mugneret wine is to taste Burgundy at its most aristocratic. Rich, complex, and profoundly ageworthy, these are red Burgundies for a lifetime cellar.
