Mongeard Mugneret Echezeaux Grand Cru "La Grande Complication" 2022 AOC 0.75l

Mongeard Mugneret Echezeaux Grand Cru La Grande Complication 2022 AOC 0.75l is a wine that reveals, in a single bottle, the tension between terroir and the human touch, immediately immersing oneself in a terroir of the Côte de Nuits where the Echezeaux Grand Cru stands out for its density and centimeters of silence. The Mongeard-Mugneret house, a family-run business with roots in Vosne-Romanée, preserves a tradition that integrates rigor and sensitivity, translating diverse vintages into wines capable of expressing character without ostentation. The production philosophy, based on manual harvesting, attention to the fruit, spontaneous fermentations, and ageing that complement the structure without obscuring its elegance, includes a management of the wood that amplifies its complexity without losing the purity of the fruit. Distinctive elements: smooth tannic texture, energetic acidity, an aromatic profile that ranges from ripe red fruits to floral and mentholated notes, with light traces of humus and fine spices. This sensory profile translates into a wine of great presentation yet surprisingly refined, capable of patiently evolving in the cellar and offering a progression of layers in the glass: from a silky initial impact to developments that reveal minerality and depth. Within the winery's range, it represents the most authoritative expression of the cru, the jewel in the crown that highlights attention to detail and the balance between power and control, demonstrating how Mongeard-Mugneret knows how to interpret its vineyards to enhance the material without overdoing it. The role of La Grande Complication within the Mongeard-Mugneret range is to offer a window onto the maximum potential of the Echezeaux Grand Cru vineyard, a bottle that invites long aging and embodies the company's philosophy: wines that speak of the terroir with measured refinement, designed for those seeking authenticity, longevity, and a sensory experience consistent with a STELT positioning, capable of combining tradition, rigor, and a forward-looking vision of the world of wine.
