THE STORY
According to Burgundy expert Clive Coates, "Vosne-Romanée is undoubtedly the greatest of all the Cote d'Or communes. Here you will find Pinot Noir at its most profound, elegant and magnificent." At the pinnacle of the great vineyards of Vosne- Romanée is the handful of Grand Cru vineyard holdings of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti: Romanée-Conti, La Tâche, Richebourg, Romanée-St.-Vivant, Grands Échezeaux and Échezeaux.
Aubert de Villaine became Co-director of the Domaine in 1974. His goal at the Domaine is to bottle a wine that has had almost no manipulation, but is the result of perfectly balanced, healthy fruit.
The wines of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, however, do not necessarily show their best virtues shortly after release. As Aubert attests, "Burgundies have many different faces, and there is an evolution of these faces from youth to serenity. They also have a lean, hard period where they go to sleep in the bottle; however, a wine that is difficult in its youth can become very gentle in its old age." These comments are very much an embodiment of the gentle understatement of the genteel and gracious Aubert de Villaine.

MORE WONDERFUL BURGUNDY'S - DOMAINE MONGEARD MUGNERET
EXTREMELY LIMITED QUANTITIES IN STOCK.
This famous Domaine is run with an emphasis on the respect of the different terroirs, as well as agriculture raisonnee, i.e almost entirely organic. The other emphasis is the respect of tradition in making the wines, i.e. letting the wine express itself as naturally as can be. The range of the wines goes from Hautes Cotes de Nuits red La Croix to very rare and sought after Grand Cru Richebourg, from a special Echezeaux and an even more special Grands Echezeaux to Clos Vougeot, from Vougeot Les Cras 1st cru to Vosne-Romanée Les Orveaux 1st cru and Savigny Les Beaune Les Narbantons 1st cru, and all of them are given the same TLC, under the strict management of Vincent Mongeard, who represents the 8th generation of wine growers. This domaine is wildly recognized for the excellent ageability of its wines.
You can try the below mentioned two wines on Saturday, May 23rd at Livingston Location.

Domaine Mongeard Mugneret Echezeaux Grand Cru 2005
"Much better and more complete wood integration allows the beautifully spicy and warm-earth nuanced black fruit nose to complement perfectly the rich, full and well-muscled flavors that border on the robust on the concentrated, intense and palate drenching flavors. ...there is good balance and excellent length here."
