The Mongeard Mugneret Vosne Romanée Les Petits Monts 1er Cru 2022 hails from one of Vosne-Romanée's most elusive and enchanting Premier Cru vineyards. Vosne-Romanée wines are renowned for their excellent quality, characterized by elegance, discreet tannins, and unobtrusive acidity. The 2022 vintage, while not as voluminous as 2023, was considered superior to 2021. The domaine plans to hold this vintage for 2-3 years before commercial release, allowing the slightly increased new oak usage to integrate beautifully. This wine offers a complex and refined bouquet of ripe red fruits, peony, and earthy undergrowth notes. On the palate, it presents a generous, velvety texture with a persistent, elegant finish. Expect discreet acidity and fine tannins, with perfumes evocative of ripe fruits and flowers, mingling with woodland undergrowth, humus, cherries in brandy, and peony, evolving towards leather and animal notes over time. It can be subtly smoky, ample, pure, and velvety in the mouth. Tasting notes also highlight red fruit, cherry, raspberry, earthy, mineral, oak, vanilla, cola, cinnamon, licorice, pepper, violet, and black fruit. It is elegant and nuanced, with subtle minerals, raspberries, and fine spices on the nose, leading to dusty tannins, ethereal red berry fruit, and a long, extensive, very soft, and delicate finish. The wine is aromatic with a hint of oak spice, silky, and possesses a creamy depth, culminating in an excellent finish. 🍴 Food pairing suggestions include classic choices like duck, goose, and various game birds. 🥂 This wine is approachable and easy to drink right after opening. However, it also possesses the structure and depth to hold for additional complexity, making it suitable for enjoyment now or with some cellaring. 【From Les Petits Monts, one of Vosne-Romanée's most elusive and enchanting Premier Cru vineyards】.
