The 2020 Musigny Grand Cru is exquisite, mingling aromas of wild berries and blood orange with nuances of exotic spices, forest floor, rose petals and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, multidimensional and sensual, it's beautifully refined, with vibrant acids and a silky, seamless profile, concluding with a long, licorice-inflected finish.
The 2020 Musigny Grand Cru is de-stemmed with hand with the central stem removed. It comprises of three feuillettes this year, equivalent to around 450 bottles (this continues the tradition of using feuillettes when you could use one tailor-made barrel.) Containing 50% whole bunch and only new wood, it has a fragrant bouquet that is beautifully-defined with exuberant red fruit, crushed stone and a hint of liquorice. It fans out wonderfully towards the finish, silky smooth, vivid and sensual. This is a gorgeous Musigny that will age supremely well.
