Product Description
VM97 The 2017 Musigny Grand Cru is very intense on the nose but shows complexity and terroir expression, offering stunning delineation and crisp red fruit and undergrowth scents. A touch of wild fennel emerges with time, but everything is perfectly controlled. The palate is finely proportioned, perfectly balanced and very pure, with gentle grip. The old purring Rolls-Royce engine here, though I observed it losing some of its initial flair with aeration. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.
DR96 The twelve barrels of Musigny - there were four in 2016 - have put a smile on Fred Mugnier's face in 2017, and why not, given the quality of his wine. Sourced from 1.13ha, it's a comparatively forward expression of the grand cru that will give a lot of pleasure in its youth, with layers of scented wood, sweet summery fruit and enough acidity for balance. Notes of umami and forest floor kick in on the finish.
