Pascal says that he used to be quite content to describe his Vosne-Romanée village, then a blend of 9 terroirs spanning the length of the appellation, as a highly representative example of Vosne. But for a decade he had been vinifying the parcels separately and trying all sorts of blends. Finally, he decided to make three Vosnes village that have a much more coherent geographical and textural definition.

Quatrain is a blend of his northernmost and southernmost parcels. They bring different and complimentary qualities. The north has deeper soils and is fruit-driven, but it lacks mineral definition and can taste heavy. The south is about structure, but on its own, it lacks joy. The combination produces a Vosne with crunchy, fresh, lifted fruit, that is delicious even without cellaring.

William Kelley:

"The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Quatrain is fine-boned and perfumed, unfurling in the glass with notes of plums, sweet spices and smoky berries, followed by a medium to full-bodied, suave and seamless palate that's pure and precise. It's Mugneret's usual blend of lieux-dits Ormes, Chalandins, Réas, Jaquines and Croix Blanches."
