Tasting notes
The 2021 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is curiously a little disjointed on the nose compared to its peers, though it coheres with pretty red cherry, wild strawberry, undergrowth and tobacco. The aromatics grow on you. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins that frame the hoisin-tinged red fruit. Slightly powdery in texture towards the finish, which demonstrates assiduous use of whole bunch, there is a lingering residual white pepper note that is very appealing. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

A giant amongst the 2021 Grand Cru red Burgundies, but still a sleeping giant. In spite of the stunning concentration on the rather full-bodied palate for the vintage, the stony minerality and bright acidity gives this great drive at the very long finish. A hint of green pepper from the use of whole clusters on the nose. Try from 2026.
The 2021 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru underwent a picked piecemeal from the 30 different plots to find the best order that actually was linked to vine age. It has a gorgeous bouquet with brambly red fruit, loam, blood oranges and subtle graphite aromas. Superb delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, fresh citrus like acidity, tensile and focused. This is a very classic, mineral-driven Musigny with surfeit of salinity that gets the saliva flowing on the finish. So bright on the finish.
