Ripe red and black cherries, wild strawberries and plum roll through Mongeard-Mugneret’s 2022 Echezeaux Grand Cru, laced with rose petal, sweet spice, orange zest and a cool, stony edge that keeps this generous vintage from feeling heavy. The palate is plush and mouthfilling yet finely etched, with sleek acidity and polished tannins carrying a long, spicy, subtly saline finish that promises even greater nuance with time in bottle.

Mongeard-Mugneret’s Echezeaux Grand Cru is a pure Pinot Noir from hard limestone soils in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, yielding a clear garnet wine that marries richness and finesse. Typically vanilla‑scented, smoky and red-fruited in youth, it evolves with a few years in bottle toward truffle, forest floor and game, with supple, fine-grained tannins and a succulent, red-berry-driven palate. This is a sensual, “feminine” style of Echezeaux, emphasizing perfume, silkiness and layered complexity over sheer power.
