Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
Drouhin's 2022 Musigny Grand Cru is a beauty, wafting from the glass with scents of ripe cherries and raspberries mingled with blood orange, peonies and baking spices. Full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, it's layered and vibrant, with beautifully refined tannins and a long, mineral finish.

Made with 40% whole clusters in the fermentor. The stems bring in some of the dried flower and cedar aromas that usually come from aging. Amazing aromas of forest floor, mushrooms and wild berries, with deep, broad plums, sour cherries and blackcurrants on the palate. Racy acidity carries it beautifully through the finish. Best from 2028.

The 2022 Musigny Grand Cru underwent two pickings, August 27 for the declassified younger vines, and September 5. It has a well-defined bouquet with touches of undergrowth infusing the brambly red fruit, graphite and tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh, and vibrant with svelte tannins, fine acidity, and an elegant finish. This very refined Musigny will improve with bottle age.
