Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret Bourgogne Hautes Côtes De Nuits (75cl, 14%)

A Burgundy Pinot Noir from the Hautes Côtes de Nuits, produced by Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret in Vosne-Romanée. The fruit comes from the Les Dames Huguettes parcels and the vines average 45 to 50 years of age. All fruit is fully de-stemmed and the wine is typically bottled without filtration. The nose shows black cherry, raspberry, spring flowers, forest floor, toast, light brown sugar and smoke. The palate has cranberry, ripe cherry, earthy savoury notes, a mineral streak, smooth tannins and fresh acidity. The finish is medium with gently drying texture, red fruit, earthy undertones and a faint herbal quality.
