Mongeard-Mugneret Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru 2018

Here is a truly prestigious wine. From the Grands Echezeaux grand cru, the Pinot Noir vines are grown sustainably in a deep soil rich in pebbles and limestone, with a chalky sub-soil. This allows the earth to conserve heat well. Located at 260 metres of altitude, the vines are between 45 and 70 years old, and all the work carried out on them is by hand. During vinification, the choice of whether to destem the bunches or not depends on the quality of the vintage. The wine is then matured in oak casks. We recommend keeping it in the cellar for a few years so it can refine. It has a deep colour flecked with crimson and violet, and a complex aromatic bouquet. We also find notes of red and black fruits, cherry, white pepper, leather, spices and plum. Subtle and refined, this cuvée is balanced with good structure, allowing for gastronomic pairings with characterful dishes like refined cheeses and game.
