Tasting Notes
A dazzlingly complex and fine nose reveals hints of vanilla and toast yet is absolutely elegant with its incredible breadth of spice-box aromas followed ripe, surprisingly accessible and seductive yet incredibly intense flavors that display marvelous depth and perfect balance. Sappy and sweet yet the powerfully long finish is beautifully detailed and focused. A wine that is at once highly expressive yet a model of grace and understatement and while this will be approachable in a decade, it will last for at least three because of the impeccable balance.

Sadly, Jadot only produces tiny amounts of Musigny, but those lucky enough to secure some of the 2002 will be enthralled. Its boisterous aromas greet the nose with flowers, spices, raspberries, and cherries. On the palate, this medium to full-bodied effort is coiled, waiting to strike. Cloves, sweet red fruits, candied blackberries, violets, and roses can be discerned in its tightly wound personality. A wine of power and harmony, it is chewy textured, dense and has a firm structure that demands cellaring. Projected maturity: 2010-2024. Bravo! Pierre Rovani, Wine Advocate # 153 Jun 2004

About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
