Description

Fine bright purple, a very gorgeous heady nose, pointing to the ethereal. Fresh white pepper from some whole bunches, adds an additional dimension to the exquisitely refined nose. Amazing tensile strength to this fine boned wine. Very long indeed. This could not be better made, others may make a denser version.

Critics reviews

Neal Martin
95-97/100
The 2014 Musigny Grand Cru includes 100% whole cluster fruit and comprises of three barrels, one of them new and the others one- and two-years-old. It has a really lovely, sensual bouquet that is already very elegant and finessed with flint-tinged red cherry and wild strawberry fruit. It is just very very precise. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins with bitter cherry and a touch of spice, embroidered with life-affirming minerality and a sense of precision on the finish that instantaneously informs you that you are in propitious terroir-tory. What a great Musigny from winemaker Pierre Vincent.

About The Wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating and, at times, infuriating wine grape in the world. However, when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape, which grows in small, tight bunches, performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone-based subsoils. It is more susceptible than other varieties to overcropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive, and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of Burgundy's Côte d'Or.

Burgundy

The region is home to some of the world's finest Grand Cru and Premier Cru wines, commonly called 'Burgundies'. Made from Pinot Noir, the reds are dry and full-bodied with silky tannins. Conversely, using Chardonnay to produce whites helps generate elegant, complex, and citrussy wines with fresh butter and toast notes.
