Mongeard Mugneret Bourgogne Hautes-Cotes de Nuits "La Croix" 2022 AOC 0.75l

Mongeard Mugneret Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits La Croix 2022 AOC 0.75l is a bottle that expresses the encounter between terroir and ancient knowledge. This Burgundy wine draws its inspiration from the sunny heights of the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, where the marl and limestone soil lends a vibrant minerality to the aromatic red fruit profiles, perfect for everyday moments and meals rich in cultural references. The history of the Mongeard Mugneret house, a family of winemakers rooted in the heart of the Côte de Nuits and bearer of a tradition focused on enhancing the terroir, is evident in every detail: a human heritage anchored in responsible cultivation, a philosophy that prioritizes gentle work in the vineyard, and meticulous grape selection, all entrusted to long-term management. The production philosophy is based on a balance between observation and minimal intervention, with harvesting at the perfect stage of ripeness, vinification in controlled containers, and aging that balances freshness and structure without imposing foreign characteristics on the fruit, offering a clean, precise, and immediately recognizable flavor palette. What makes La Croix distinctive is its purity of expression: a texture of red fruits, cherry, currant, and a light spicy note, accompanied by a clear minerality that seems to hold the air between the breaths of the vineyard, and by light, velvety tannins that support a balanced body and a flavor progression that unfolds unhurriedly. In the Mongeard Mugneret range, this 2022 occupies a quiet yet essential place: it is not only a gateway to the world of the domaine, but also a statement of how the house transforms the unrepeatable conditions of a vintage into a bottle recognizable for its identity, coherence, and style. In closing, La Croix fits into the STELT positioning by offering understated elegance, precision and an invitation to contemplate the table as a place of exchange between territory, talent and time.
