($24, Vineyard Brands):  Mongeard-Mugneret, a small grower located in Vosne-Romanée, makes traditionally proportioned graceful Burgundies.  They emphasize elegance and persistence rather than shear power.  And those characteristics are evident in this Bourgogne Rouge.  It’s a fine introduction to true Burgundy, showing the savory and earthy side of Pinot Noir. 88 Michael Apstein Jun 12, 2012
