The 2022 Musigny Grand Cru contains 50% whole bunches and was raised entirely in new oak. It comprises four 150-liter barrels. Maybe that smaller size means greater wood impact on the nose: at the moment, it just occludes the fruit profile, the terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, ripe tannins, dark berry fruit, black pepper, dark chocolate, mint, and a touch of cloves. The finish has fine weight and depth, although it will require a decade to soak up the new wood. It's a fine Musigny, but you'll need to taste this after time in bottle to gauge the quality.

As usual, the 2022 Musigny Grand Cru is a micro-cuvée from a tiny 0.03-hectare parcel. Wafting from the glass with aromas of black cherries, wild berries, incense, licorice and exotic spices, it's full-bodied, seamless and perfumed, with a deep and multidimensional core of fruit, supple tannins and a long, resonant, intensely saline finish.

Still very closed and slightly flinty on the nose (reduction of this level is entirely normal during barrel ageing). However, the ravishing beauty of the palate leaves no doubt that this is a very great Musigny. So incredibly silky you want to bathe in it. The finish is off the scale in terms of length, precision and delicacy.
