2023, Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret, GRANDS ECHÉZEAUX, Grand CruThis is a brilliant wine in the constellation of top Vosne Romane Flagey Echzeaux grands crus. With 1. 44 hectares Mongeard Mugneret is the second largest owner. Deeper, more blackened ruby colour. Spicy, smokey cherry plum nose. Very expressive. Smooth soft red cherries. More dense mid palate. A little soft bitterness in the finish. Feel the concentration and power. Smooth tannins with lingering finish and notes of sous bois. Katharine Maude 14 04

a little hollow on the mid-palate with a "bony" finish

The 2022 Blanc de Lynch-Bages

Drink 3-4 years after bottling

quite ferrous towards the finish that lingers long in the mouth

and just so juicy on the finish

aged in large oak casks for the Sangiovese and small barrels for the Cabernet

Gorgeous construction and balance

Château Grand Village is a harmonious and rich wine

bursting with notes of cassis

with good depth at the core

this is definitely a level up from the previous vintage

touches of cloves and velvety tannins
