Mongeard-Mugneret Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2019 (750ML)

91-93 BH

Tasting note: A spicy liqueur-like nose reflects earthy notes of mostly blue and black pinot fruit that are trimmed in just enough wood to merit mentioning. The delicious middle weight flavors possess a rich, velvety and rounded mouthfeel before concluding in a markedly firm and mildly austere finish where a hint of warmth slowly emerges. This suave and mouth coating effort should be approachable on the younger side but have no trouble rewarding up to two decades of cellaring.—Allen Meadows, Burghound
