Mongeard Mugneret Echezeaux 1989

WINE TALK

My inventory showed I had an interesting mixed case of Mugneret Gibourg Echezeaux. Given the price, I was planning to sell them until I discovered the error.

It turned out that they were Mongeard Mugneret; decided to open a bottle of the 1989. Very surprised by it. It was light, but had a remarkable nose of smoky fruit and spices. Complex on the palate, the one fault was that the finish was medium; given the impact on the palate I had hoped for a little more. Still a very nice, slightly old-fashioned Burgundy.

sounds like Mongeard Mugneret to me.

Both the '85 Clos de Vougeot and '83 Grands Echezeaux from the same producer that I opened this year I and my friends found really good. Yes, old-fashioned Burgundy. Right up my alley.

Best,

Had the 09 Ech this past summer, we agreed too young and that it might have a ceiling to it, but good component parts.
