Generous wood sets off red and dark fruit aromas along with floral and earth wisps. There is a subtle minerality suffusing the delicious and racy medium weight flavors that possess solid depth and persistence. This isn't particularly concentrated but it is well-balanced and built to reward mid-term keeping.
Barrel Sample: 89-91
RP 90 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2017 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Narbantons is showing nicely, soaring from the glass with an expressive bouquet of berry fruit, orange rind, raw cocoa and a delicate framing of spicy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, ample and enveloping, it's open-knit and charming, built around ripe but succulent acids and melting tannins. This is another of the more immediate wines in the range. The Mongeard family arrived in Vosne-Romanée in the eighteenth century, with records showing a Mongeard working as vigneron for Domaine de la Romanée-Conti in 1786. In 1945, Jean Mongeard, whose mother was a Mugneret, found himself making wine at the age of 16 in the place of his father who had died years earlier. The entire 1945 crop was purchased by Baron le Roy, Marquis d’Angerville, and Henri Gouges. Gouges instructed the young Mongeard to personally bottle the wines, rather than sell in barrel. In 1975, Vincent Mongeard, Jean’s son, began working alongside his father and became responsible for viticulture and vinification of the domaine’s wines. He persuaded his father to return to the traditional method of bottling, without filtration, filtering only with certain vintages. Jean Mongeard retired in 1995, and Vincent assumed complete leadership of the domaine. Today, Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret covers a total area of more than 75 acres, split among 35 appellations. The varied range of climats in which the Mongeards own vineyards results, naturally, in wines of great diversity.
