The village of Vosne-Romanée lies between Dijon and Beaune in the heart of the Côte de Nuits region, near the prestigious Château du Clos Vougeot and Nuits St Georges.
For more than eight generations, the Mongeard family has been established in Vosne-Romanée since the year 1620, right in the midst of the Côte de Nuits, producing wine with the utmost respect for tradition.
The Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret, renamed in 1945, now operates a large vineyard in the purist of the burgundy tradition. My grandfather was Eugène Mongeard and my grandmother was Edmée Mugneret.
The property accounts today for approximately 30 hectares, spread on 35 different appellations producing white Burgundy issued from the Chardonnay grape, but also essentially red wines issued from the Pinot Noir grape in the best climates of the Côte.
Chambolle-Musigny is a wine of immense elegance, with beautiful colour and exceedingly subtle aromas. The delicacy and complexity of the aromas, reminiscent of violets, raspberries, and strawberries, with a hint of blackcurrants, impart a fine, delicate bouquet. On the palate, it reveals charm, freshness, and elegance. Its very subtle character is due to the combination of low acidity and very fine, smooth, well-balanced tannins.
