2017 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Musigny Blanc Grand Cru

The 2017 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Blanc Grand Cru is the third vintage since the domaine elected to reintroduce it as a Musigny instead of a Bourgogne Blanc. It has a generous, quite Rhône-like bouquet with hints of fennel and oregano infusing the pear and white peach fruit. The palate is beautifully balanced, featuring Corton-Charlemagne-like weight and veins of stem ginger and lemongrass toward the persistent finish. I love the weight and generosity here. A swarthy white Musigny that marches to its own beat.
