2005 Domaine Mongeard Mugneret, Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 1x750ml

Robert Parker 93

Sourced from two parcels close to the chateau, the nose is just a little reductive and sullen compared to the others. But they will develop in time because the palate is wonderful with cherry, orange peels and wild strawberry notes. Structured, symmetrical with firm grip and brilliant focus. The nose was just beginning to wake up as I moved on to the next wine. Long, floral, cherry and strawberry sorbet finish. Drinking 2008-2020. Tasted January 2007. [Neal Martin, 01/01/2007]
