Tasting notes
Good bright, dark red. Compelling aromas of raspberry, blueberry, blood orange and crushed stone. The palate combines great sweetness and outstanding energy, thanks to perfectly ripe acids that frame the dark fruit, spice and mineral flavors. Deceptively approachable now owing to its sweetness, but it would be a shame to open this wine before 2022 or so. Really spreads out on the back half to saturate every square millimeter of the palate. One of the longest wines of the vintage and still a baby.

The 2010 Musigny wraps around the palate with sensual layers of fruit. This is an understated Burgundy whose many attributes might be easy to miss, so pure is the integration of fruit, acidity and structure. A notable refinement caresses the palate on the silky finish. Despite its approachable personality, there is plenty of structure lurking underneath.

Despite its approachable personality, there is plenty of structure lurking underneath. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2040. This is an impressive showing from Drouhin. In my view the 2010s are more interesting and transparent than the 2009s. Veronique Drouhin describes 2010 as a vintage with long-term aging potential, which certainly seems to be the case. Some of the wines were vinified with a portion of whole clusters, including the Corton-Bressandes, Petits-Monts, Charmes and Musigny. Importer: Dreyfus Ashby & Co., New York, NY; tel. (212) 818-0770
