The Dominique Mugneret estate

The Dominique Mugneret estate is located in Vosne-Romanée, in the heart of the Côte de Nuits region.

Today, the estate cultivates several hectares spread across several appellations, with particular attention paid to Grands Crus.

The Echezeaux en Orveaux vintage and appellation

This 2008 Échezeaux Grand Cru comes from the "En Orveaux" climat, one of the most renowned parts of the vast Échezeaux Grand Cru. The clay-limestone soils and the immediate proximity of Clos de Vougeot give the wine an aromatic intensity and elegant structure, typical of this terroir.
