This parcel was obtained by Georges Mugneret with the help of Charles Rousseau in 1977, following the sale of Domaine Thomas-Bossot. Thank you, Charles Rousseau!
This wine can be kept for 10 years, but may be easily tasted and appreciated for up to 20 years. For fans of young wines, try it after five years -- it's a lovely experience. Serve with: duck confit, beef in pastry crust, sautéed mushrooms, and of course, the wonderful local cheese Ami du Chambertin..
The color is never very dark, but the taste reveals a rich complexity, enhanced with vanilla, truffle, and black fruit perfumes. A long finish, elegant and well-defined.
