Wines under the "Nuits" appellation are the most robust, full-bodied and strong in tannins of all Côtes-de-Nuits wines. They are usually ready to drink about 4 or 5 years after being bottled, and will age perfectly for about ten years. They are full and firm, with a deep intense colour.Their aromas are rich and complex, suggestive of cherries, blackcurrants, animal pelts and truffles. Their high tannin content provides them with a very firm structure, and the harmonious interplay between the tannins and the inherently rounded nature of these wines makes them full-bodied and solid.

Owned by Vincent and Anne Mongeard, Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret is located in the village of Vosne-Romanée. The domaine comprises over 30 hectares of vineyards in 35 Burgundy appellations, ranging from villages-level to Grand Cru. Vincent and Anne practice sustainable viticulture, ‘la lutte raisonnée’, with a focus on improving soil health with manure and compost. They also put a lot of thought into choosing the perfect, fine-grain oak barrels for maturation. Oak is carefully selected from Nièvre and Tronçais in Allier, before being cured at the domaine for 18-24 months and assembled into barrels by a local cooper. Each barrel is used for up to five years.

Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret is known to produce wines of elegance and intensity. Vincent and Anne’s use of new oak ranges from 30-40% for Villages and Premier Crus, up to 100% new oak Grand Crus, depending on the vintage. The Nuits-Saint-Georges ‘Les Plateaux’ is hand-harvested from a 0.5-hectare vineyard which borders the villages Premier Cru vineyards. The resulting wine is elegant and precise, with bright red cherry fruit flavours, violets and sweet spice lingering on the finish.
