Histoire du domaine
The estate traces the origins of the Mongeard family back to Vosne-Romanée in 1620, whilst the family documents it cites allow us to trace the family’s history with certainty as far back as 1680. In 1920, the marriage of Eugène Mongeard and Edmée Mugneret brought together two families of winegrowers and laid the foundations for the estate’s current identity. Their son, Jean Mongeard, continued to develop the estate and its vineyards. In the 1970s, Vincent Mongeard joined his father at the estate and gradually took over the management of the vineyard. Jean Mongeard retired in 1995, leaving Vincent Mongeard in charge of the estate. Vincent Mongeard personally oversees the cuvées during winemaking, and the wine is matured in oak barrels. His grandson, Maxence, has recently joined the family estate. The estate now comprises 30 hectares of vineyards across 37 Burgundian appellations.
Richebourg
Richebourg is both a Grand Cru appellation and a physically delimited climat of Vosne-Romanée, consisting of the lieux-dits Les Richebourgs and Les Véroilles ou Richebourgs. It occupies the foothills of the slope between 260 and 290 meters, on a gentle slope facing east. Its shallow, clayey, carbonate-rich soils with high iron oxide content rest on Bajocian marls and soft limestones, beneath a colluvial cover blending scree, clays, and silts.

Histoire de la parcelle
The name Richebourg is attested as early as 1512. The Abbey of Cîteaux owned vines on the site, probably since the 17th century, and contributed to its renown. Recognized among the finest crus in the classifications of the 18th and 19th centuries, Richebourg was extended in 1924 to include Les Véroilles sous Richebourg following an agreement between owners ratified by the Court of Appeal of Dijon. The appellation d'origine contrôlée was recognized on September 11, 1936, with the boundaries defined in 1924.
