This was the first parcel purchased by Georges Mugneret in 1953 when he was a medical student. He had been determined to buy a parcel of Clos Vougeot ever since that of his grandfather had been sold, and had in his private cellar some 1929 Clos Vougeot - the year of his birth - coming from that old parcel. Marvelous!
A minimum of ten years. Serve with: Roast capon, beef in pastry crust, red wine sauce (not cream sauces), and why not with a dark chocolate dessert?
Intense ruby color, with a bouquet of black fruits, and an edginess associated with rich, harmonious tannins. A grand classic for this Clos Vougeot, which, following its ageing in casks, has allowed us to predict its future richness. A closed period is always to be expected for this wine, endowed with a monastic aspect during its first ten years.
