Cellar release with the 2024 Vintage. Arrives in November.
Musigny Grand Cru, along with Romanée-Conti and La Tâche, represents some of the greatest terroirs in all of Burgundy. The vineyard itself consists of 2 sections divided by a path. The southern part Les Petits Musigny is part of the Comte Georges de Vogüé monopole, while the northern part, Grand Musigny or Musigny is where Mugnier's vines are situated. As is the case with bottles of this caliber, they are best to be approached as unforgettable bottled experiences.
Notes from Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier:
"Our approach to both viticulture and wine-making is aimed at preserving in the wines the purest expression of Nature with minimal interference from technological practices. We have a pragmatic approach to viticulture and we favor hand work and preventative protection methods in the vineyard. The purpose is not to eradicate pests and diseases but to preserve or restore a rich and active ecosystem.With healthy and ripe grapes grown on the greatest terroirs, wine-making only has to be kept simple and respectful."
Wine Advocate:
“One of the wines of the vintage, Mugnier's 2019 Musigny Grand Cru is stunning. Wafting from the glass with incipiently complex aromas of orange rind, cherries, sweet red berries, Indian spices, rose hips, potpourri, raw cocoa and grilled squab pigeon, it's full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, its sumptuous and enveloping attack segueing into a layered core of fruit framed by rich, immensely velvety tannins. Long and even rather dramatic for a young Musigny, for all its undeniable concentration and elegantly muscular structure, it displays not the slightest youthful asperity.” (William Kelley in 2021)
