Immersion in Burgundy and Champagne 2023 by ombiasy WineTours
we drove to Vosne-Romanée for lunch and a tasting.
The restaurant, where we had lunch, was part of the upscale Hotel Le Richebourg, which was part of the prestigious Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret. The estate has about 75 acres of land in around 35 different vineyards
including four grand cru parcels: Échezeaux, Grands Échezeaux, Clos de
Vougeot and Richebourg.
We had lunch at Restaurant Le Vintage, followed by a tasting with Sommelier Emmanuel Thibout of wines from Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret.
Hotel Le Richebourg et Restaurnat Le Vintage - L'avis de Gault&Millau
Niché dans le prestigieux
domaine Mongeard-Mugneret, ce refuge aux allures contemporaines a été
aménagé en lieu et place d’une ancienne ferme pour proposer aux
visiteurs de prolonger l’expérience par une vraie immersion au cœur du
vignoble. On s’installe dans l’une des 30 chambres et suites au design
épuré : œuvres d’art, mobilier design et, pour certaines, de petites
terrasses qui offrent de belles échappées sur les vignes ou les ruelles
du village. Et on poursuit la visite par la découverte de l’exploitation
familiale (depuis 8 générations) qui s’étend sur environ 30 ha, avec
dégustations à la clé. La table Le Vintage et un remarquable VineaSpa,
qui réunit sauna, hammam, bains bouillonnants, viennent compléter
l’offre de cette adresse, idéalement située sur la mythique route des
grands crus de Bourgogne…
Mongeard Mugneret - Benchmark Wine Group
The Mongeard family origins date back to 1620 in the commune of
Vosne-Romanée in Burgundy.
Situated in between Dijon and Beaune, the
Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret was renamed in 1945 after the marriage of
Eugène Mongeard and Edmée Mugneret which allowed both families vineyards
to combine, thus increasing the size of their joint domaine.
Their son
Jean began bottling wine for the first time and released it commercially
under the new name. Jean also began selling estate fruit to high-end
producers such as Marquis d’Angerville and Henri Gouges.
Today the
estate has about 75 acres of land in around 35 different vineyards
including four grand cru parcels: Échezeaux, Grands Échezeaux, Clos de
Vougeot and Richebourg. With a specialty in producing high-end examples
of the Pinot Noir grape vartiety, the domaine also releases some
Chardonnay and Aligoté white wines.
The
Mongeard family arrived in Vosne-Romanée in the eighteenth century,
with records showing a Mongeard working as vigneron for Domaine de la
Romanée-Conti in 1786. In 1945, Jean Mongeard, whose mother was a
Mugneret, found himself making wine at the age of 16 in the place of his
father who had died years earlier. The entire 1945 crop was purchased
by Baron le Roy, Marquis d’Angerville, and Henri Gouges. Gouges
instructed the young Mongeard to personally bottle the wines, rather
than sell in barrel. In 1975, Vincent Mongeard, Jean’s son, began
working alongside his father and became responsible for viticulture and
vinification of the domaine’s wines. He persuaded his father to return
to the traditional method of bottling, without filtration, filtering
only with certain vintages. Jean Mongeard retired in 1995, and Vincent
assumed complete leadership of the domaine.
Today, Domaine
Mongeard-Mugneret covers a total area of more than 75 acres, split among
35 appellations. The varied range of climats in which the Mongeards own
vineyards results, naturally, in wines of great diversity.
