Bourgogne Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret 1998
Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret has been cultivating wine in Vosne-Romanée since 1620, representing over 400 years of continuous winemaking history in one of the world's most prestigious red wine appellations. The family is firmly established within the wine aristocracy of Burgundy. The modern estate was significantly shaped by Jean Mongeard starting in 1945, who built the house to international recognition during the post-war era. Since 2002, Vincent Mongeard has been at the helm, consolidating the estate's position among the most complete producers in the Côte de Nuits. The domaine spans 35 hectares across 14 different appellations. While Vosne-Romanée remains the heart of the operation, the portfolio includes four Grand Crus: Échezeaux, Grands Échezeaux, Clos Vougeot, and a small parcel of the legendary Richebourg.
The Bourgogne region in eastern France was shaped by medieval monks who meticulously mapped the area's countless terroirs. Cultivating almost exclusively Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the region has elevated terroir to an art form with its intricate system of climats. The Bourgogne AOC serves as the foundational regional appellation, officially established in 1937. It covers a vast geographical area with a predominantly continental climate and a classic soil mixture of clay and limestone. The 1998 vintage from this region achieved a score of 87 points and is described as ready to drink, balanced, and solid.
This 1998 Appellation Contrôlée wine was bottled directly at the estate, bearing the "Mis en bouteille au Domaine" mark of the viticulteur-récoltant. The bottle features the inscription "Qualité Noblesse," reflecting the historical dedication of the producer. It is presented in a 750 ml format with an alcohol content of 12.5%.
