The 2014 Mongeard Mugneret Richebourg Grand Cru hails from a Burgundy vintage that, despite a challenging start, managed to produce good wines. The spring was mild and dry, leading to successful early budburst and flowering, with warm conditions continuing until a violent hailstorm in June. This Richebourg Grand Cru is celebrated for its incomparable richness and generosity. When young, it's described as intense and explosive, requiring several years of aging to fully expand and warm. 【Incomparable richness and generosity from a prestigious Grand Cru vineyard with 40-60 year old vines.】 Visually, the wine can range from a velvety ruby to a dark nocturnal red, sometimes shading towards blackish purple, always intense, dense, and luminous with gleams of carmine.

Hints of lichen, woodland undergrowth, mushrooms, cherries, blackcurrants, and cooked or preserved fruits are also present. On the palate, it is full of life, rich, and generous.
