Reviews & Scores
A very discreet background touch of wood spice frames elegant and fine aromas of red and black pinot fruit that dissolve into rich, full and delicious flavors that deliver good volume and plenty of mid-palate fat, all wrapped in a mouth coating and complex finish. This is a terrific villages and highly recommended plus it will age. - BH

The 2005 Vosne Romanee (assembled in tank at the time I tasted) displays fresh black raspberry, ginger snap, cinnamon, and fetching florality on the nose, a silken palate of winsome purity and freshness, and a finish of great refinement that mingles marrow and anise with black raspberry and brown spices. The Mugneret sisters (I take the liberty of heading this report with what is about to become their official, unified domaine name) have rendered a 2005 collection illustrating the chiseled-precision, complexity, refinement and restraint for which their wines are famous.

The 2005 Vosne-Romanée AC continues the strong run of vintages of this village wine, which is now one of the best (if not the flat out finest) examples in Vosne. The bouquet on the 2005 is deep, pure and outstanding for a village wine, as it jumps from the glass in a blaze of violets, plums, black raspberries, cocoa, lovely minerality and a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is medium-full (and quite big for this particular cuvée chez Mugneret), tangy and beautifully focused, with a lovely kernel of fruit at the core, fine intensity of flavor, velvety tannins and a very long finish of outstanding grip. This is yet another dynamite bottle of village wine in 2005. Make sure to buy all the way down the line in this vintage! - JG
