Dominique Mugneret Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits 2009
France
/
Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
Dominique's vineyards in the Hautes-Côtes (mostly above Vosne) deliver a deeper, darker-fruited Pinot Noir with impressive cut and balance. Up in the hills the wind blows a bit harder, cooling temperatures and extending grapes’ ripening times a good two, three weeks longer than the rest of the Côte d’Or. That extra hang-time means more profound, savory flavors of blueberries and black raspberries; aromas suggest cassis and mixed peppers.

Dominique Mugneret Bourgogne Pinot Noir de Vieilles Vignes 2009
France
/
Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
A "straight" Bourgogne in name but a Vosne beauty through and through—Dominique selects his top older vines from both Vosne-Romanée and Morey-St.-Denis for this saturated and spicy Pinot Noir. Richly ruby in the glass, the wine delivers aromas of poached cherries and black pepper. Lovely texture on the palate, with flavors of black and red fruit jelly, plus a hint of smoke and lavender on the finish.

“Background notes of wood spice, earth and a subtle sauvage note add
nuance to the dark berry fruit aromas that introduce delicious, supple
and mouth coating flavors that possess a bit more acid spine on the racy
and mineral finish. This is quite appealing and offers more obvious
Nuits character.” — Burghound
