The 2017 Musigny Grand Cru is very intense on the nose but shows complexity and terroir expression, offering stunning delineation and crisp red fruit and undergrowth scents. A touch of wild fennel emerges with time, but everything is perfectly controlled. The palate is finely proportioned, perfectly balanced and very pure, with gentle grip. The old purring Rolls-Royce engine here, though I observed it losing some of its initial flair with aeration. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting. 2025 - 2060
Fine concentrated medium deep purple. The nose is very promising, with some deep floral notes as well as the fruit. This too is on the backward side, but the intensity follows right through to the back of the palate. Brooding, not displaying all its charm, but the building blocks are absolutely in place. The fruit can only grow from here.
