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.
Vines here are 72 years old. Given how favourable to vines the land is, the wines of Maizières-Hautes alone symbolize the finesse and elegance that are typical of Vosne. With a long-lasting aroma mingling scents of raspberry and cassis, it will surprise you with its long finish and softness. This wine is both full-bodied and rich and will reveal itself to be suave and generous. The fruit is destemmed according to the vintage and receives 30-40% new oak.
The vineyard is a tiny parcel that sits just below the Grand Cru Echézeaux, specifically the climat Clos-Saint-Denis. Echézeuax is broken up into 11 climats.
