Tasting notes
The 2018 Musigny Grand Cru initially shows quite a lot of reduction on the nose, though there is plenty of attractive red fruit behind it with some evidence of whole bunch addition. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a crisp line of acidity that lends this Musigny edginess. Cohesive, gaining weight towards the finish, this Musigny conveys a sense of energy that should ensure it matures with class. Ethereal. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.

The 2018 Musigny Grand Cru is de-stemmed by hand and matured in a new, custom-made barrel that was this year approximately 380 liters. It has a fragrant bouquet of vibrant red cherries, crushed strawberry, cedar and allspice; a strong oyster shell influence comes through with aeration. The harmonious, medium-bodied palate offers supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity, and the sensual, silky-smooth finish lingers for over a minute in the mouth. Although this will age long-term, it will be broachable young. Divine.
