One of my favorite producers, Mongeard-Mugneret has rebounded strongly in 1991 with far superior wines than those he made in 1989 and 1990. Why? Not only did nature keep yields under 30 hectoliters per hectare (less than 2 tons per acre), but in 1991 Mongeard's son persuaded his father to return to the traditional method of bottling, meaning, no fining or filtration. The results are wines with more expansive, rich mid-palates and that enticing, seductive, sweet burgundy perfume that has not been obliterated by excessive fining or filtration. It is hard to find good village Vosne-Romanee, but Mongeard's 1991 is excellent. A sweet, expansive nose of ripe fruit and toast is followed by a medium-bodied, deliciously ripe, well-balanced, satiny textured wine with fine concentration and a lush finish. Drink it over the next 4-5 years. Importer: Vineyard Brands (Robert Haas), Chester, VT.
