Mongeard Mugneret Vosne Romanee Premier Cru En Orveaux 2022 AOC 0,75l

Mongeard Mugneret Vosne Romanee Premier Cru En Orveaux 2022 AOC 0.75l presents itself as a dry yet rich interpretation of the winemaking offerings of the historic Vosne-Romanée winery, where Pinot Noir and terroir meet to offer a red that reflects the elegance of the Côte de Nuits and the producer's artisanal attention to detail. In the glass, it displays a luminous ruby ​​​​depth and a transparency that invites exploration of the fruit and minerality, a distinctive trait of En Orveaux, a Premier Cru vineyard celebrated for its eastern exposure and clay-limestone soil that favors slow ripening and a fiber-rich structure. The history of the Mongeard-Mugneret house, passed down through a family tradition rooted in the region's vineyards, is nourished by a work philosophy that emphasizes daily vineyard care, rigorous hand-harvesting, and a winemaking approach that prioritizes balance between substance and refinement, endowing the wine with a sensory complexity that develops with maturity without forcing. The range of winemaking choices is guided by an expert hand that favors simple vessels and controlled maturation, with careful management of oxygenation that allows the color to age brilliantly and the aromatic profile to emerge cleanly and comprehensively. Distinctive elements emerge in En Orveaux's interpretation: the tension between dark fruit and an earthy note, tannic finesse, and a minerality reminiscent of water-licked stone, all with a length that lingers without being overbearing. It's a wine that pairs well with medium-rare dishes, well-spiced red meats, or aged cheeses, offering a progression on the palate that moves from bright red fruits to nuances of pepper, graphite, and underbrush. In the house's portfolio, En Orveaux occupies a prominent position as an emblematic example of how the same texture can express different depths depending on the terroir. Within the Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru appellation, it presents itself as a choice of content and style for connoisseurs seeking restraint without sacrificing expressiveness. A wine distinguished by balance, dignity, and longevity, it's the fruit of a commitment to authenticity and precision, in keeping with the STELT positioning.
