Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2015 Musigny Grand Cru has a thoroughbred bouquet with ripe blackberry, briary, undergrowth and marine scents that blossom in the glass. The palate is supple in the mouth, perhaps less tensile than the Bonnes Mares albeit with superb depth and grip. You are almost on the verge of dismissing this Musigny, then it fans out in convincing fashion, with plenty of gusto and conviction, belatedly reminding you that this is one of the most revered vineyards in the world. Perhaps not as immediate as the Bonnes-Mares, nevertheless, this will turn out to be grandiose Musigny destined to be up there with the best.

The complexity of aromas is so exciting here with smoke, tar, meat and hints of flowers, too. Plenty of fruit. Full-bodied, layered, tannic and powerful. Muscular. Needs five to six years to soften.
