Tasting notes
Leroy's Musigny is everything, and then it is nothing, like a Cubist painting that is more about suggestion than explicit statements. Elusive, magical and absolutely haunting in beauty, the Musigny is a wine that evades words. It just exists, in the glass, on the palate and through an extraordinary expression of sensorial beauty. Subtle and totally silky, the Musigny is bright, lifted and utterly captivating in every way. Even more importantly, it is a wine of pure and total pleasure.

Unlike last year, there are three barrels of the 2014 Musigny Grand Cru this year instead of two, not that it is going to make it any easier to find and somehow, I'm not expecting a massive reduction in price. It has a very complex bouquet with dark red fruit, limestone, a hint of hickory and wild hedgerow, quite mercurial in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, silkier than the Clos de Vougeot, harmonious with a killer thread of spice that bursts out towards the finish. Very complex and sophisticated, this Musigny deserves several years in bottle before even thinking about it.
