Musigny, Domaine Faiveley 2015

Tasting Notes

**Note: Faiveley noted that there would be two versions of Musigny in 2015; one under the domaine label and another under the Joseph Faiveley label where the latter will either not be sold or if it is, then only in very small quantities; the review that follows is for the domaine version that was vinified with 50% whole clusters**
Generous wood frames an elegant, pure, airy and sophisticated nose that consists of essence of black cherry, spice and floral aromas. There is an almost pungent minerality on the detailed, sappy and powerful big-bodied flavors that possess a wonderfully appealing texture on the wonderfully long and slightly warm finale. This is impressive but it's exceptionally ripe, indeed to the point where there isn't quite the same vivacity compared to the other grands crus in the range. Still, if your taste runs to lavishly opulent and seductive Musigny, this is one to hunt for.
