2020 Musigny

The 2020 Musigny Grand Cru comprises of one new barrel and one use quarter barrel with 100% whole bunch. You cannot tell the whole bunch on the nose which possesses haunting delineation and focus, vivacious red fruit and stunning tension. There is an audacity about the aromatics that only Musigny can provide. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins, crystalline like the Amoureuses yet with even greater depth. Readers will know that I don’t just hand out top potential banded scores to this cuvée by rote. Yet unequivocally, this flirts with perfection.
