Vintage Character The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Aux Vigneux from Domaine Gérard Mugneret is a refined expression of Burgundy’s renowned terroir, crafted from Pinot Noir grown in the village-level Aux Vigneux lieu-dit. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was characterized by a warm, sunny season with moderate rainfall, leading to grapes of excellent ripeness and purity—conditions that produced wines with vivid fruit, supple tannins, and a harmonious structure. In the glass, this wine reveals enticing aromas of red cherries, wild strawberries, and delicate violet, complemented by subtle Asian spice and a gentle earthiness that reflects its Vosne-Romanée origins.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing The palate is silky and vibrant, unfolding layers of ripe raspberry, cranberry, and a mineral undertone, culminating in a persistent, finely detailed finish. Its supple texture and balanced profile make it a versatile companion for food, pairing beautifully with duck breast à l’orange, mushroom risotto, or a soft French cheese such as Chaource, each enhancing the wine’s complexity and charm.
