Gerard Mugneret Vin de France Pourpre (750ML)
From Bourgogne
| Vintage: | 2020 |
|---|---|
| Description: | 92 De / 16.5 Jr. Lively and exuberant, with forward plummy fruit plus a suggestion of wild herbs and earth. The texture is supple and approachable, this is to be enjoyed (with gusto) in its youth. Pascal Mugneret's Pourpre is similar to a Gamay-heavy Passetoutgrain. The ancient vines (40% Pinot Noir, 60% Gamay) are spread over 0.7ha in Vosne-Romanée and Flagey-Echézeaux. The wine is fermented entirely as whole clusters and without sulphur until bottling.-Charles Curtis, Mw, Decanter. 60% Gamay, 40% Pinot Noir; Bourgogne Passetoutgrains declassified as Vin de France. 100% whole clusters; 20 mg/l total So2. Generous yield for 2020 of 35 hl/ha. Cask sample. Defying my prejudice against Passetoutgrains, this is indeed purple. Deeply coloured and thick with red- and black-berry fruit. All rather joyous and unpretentious. A delicious glass of vin de soif. Could be Vgv. -Matthew Hayes, Jancis Robinson. |
