2021 Bourgogne Rouge "Les Lutenières", Georges Mugneret-Gibourg
This comes from just one parcel in Vosne-Romanée, planted in 1955. The wines are yielding such low volumes that the domaine is in the process of replanting, uprooting one quarter of the parcel at a time. The tiny yield in 2021, like the two previous vintages before it, has resulted in a staggeringly concentrated Bourgogne Rouge. It has a sweet, plummy density and elegant, structured fruit, with intense persistence for a Bourgogne. It will easily age for a decade, which is not something you can say of every Bourgogne.
