The 2023 Musigny Blanc Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru has an intense nose with scents of peach skin, linseed oil and a dab of white truffle—finely delineated. The palate is well balanced with a sapid, spicy, lemongrass-tinged entry. As usual, there is a nod to the Rhône here, with wonderful weight and density on the finish. Superb. 2028-2042.
After a late malolactic, the Musigny Blanc was racked in early summer from barrel then back to the same barrel. The same procedure is used for the reds. A little gunflint reduction, a touch of banana. Good tension, some ripe lime and citrus, concentrated, though as yet not quite fully formed. Apple concentrate behind, with good length.
