Reviewed November 2023This incomparable wine has great complexity and layers of flavours, with elegant cherry and blackberry fruit aromas, cedar, spice and spectacular depth. Despite the heat of the year, a marvellous freshness here brings energy to the wine and works well with the grippy tannins. The grapes come from two domaine-owned parcels that total 0.68 hectares. Both are located in Grand Musigny near the northern end of the appellation. The grapes are partially destemmed and gently fermented to produce this quintessential Musigny that will be accessible reasonably soon for a wine of this quality yet will age effortlessly for decades. (Drink between 2030-2065)

Vinous
The 2022 Musigny Grand Cru underwent two pickings, August 27 for the declassified younger vines, and September 5. It has a well-defined bouquet with touches of undergrowth infusing the brambly red fruit, graphite and tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh, and vibrant with svelte tannins, fine acidity, and an elegant finish. This very refined Musigny will improve with bottle age. (Drink between 2028-2055)

James Suckling
Made with 40% whole clusters in the fermentor. The stems bring in some of the dried flower and cedar aromas that usually come from aging. Amazing aromas of forest floor, mushrooms and wild berries, with deep, broad plums, sour cherries and blackcurrants on the palate. Racy acidity carries it beautifully through the finish. Best from 2028.

Burghound
An exuberantly floral if decidedly restrained nose is composed by notes of plum and black raspberry coulis along with an impressive array of spice and exotic jasmine tea wisps. Here too the larger-bodied, graceful and intense flavors possess an absolutely stunning mouthfeel that is enhanced by both evident minerality and the sleek but dense tannins shaping the palate soaking, hugely long and wonderfully persistent finish. Pure class. (Drink starting 2037)
