Gerard Mugneret Vin de France Pourpre 2022 (750ML)

86-88 JM / 85 VM

Rich mid purple. A spicy bouquet. The gamay is showing, but with depth and some class, plenty of acidity which is completely folded into the fruit. Gracious and friendly, without too much acidity. Drink from 2024-2026. Tasted: November 2023.—Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

The 2022 Poupre, the name for Mugneret's Passetoutgrain, has a lifted blueberry and cassis-scented bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, quite fleshy and light with an easy-drinking finish. Enjoy over the next 18-24 months-Neal Martin, Vinous Media
