Tasting notes
There are 350 liters of the 2021 Musigny Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, fleshy wine evocative of raspberries and plums mingled with orange rind, exotic spices and rose petals. Built around powdery tannins and lively acids, it concludes with a saline, perfumed finish.

The 2021 Musigny Grand Cru, which comprises one 350-liter barrel, has a very perfumed bouquet with fine mineralité . It's more understated in style compared to other seasons and is more nuanced with tertiary notes filtering through the red fruit. There is just a bit oak to eat up. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe tannins. Presents impressive depth considering the season and is cohesive with touches of juniper and white pepper towards the finish. Very composed, it should give 20+ years of drinking pleasure.

1 x 350 litre barrel is the whole crop! No great depth to the colour, nor do I pick up much on the nose. The more sumptuous style of Musigny shows on the palate but in a muted register. Just a fraction peppery behind but the weight of slightly riper fruit returns behind that. Persistent, sensual, well made, just not on a fortissimo scale this year.
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
