Tasting note

Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Musigny Grand Cru has a tightly wound bouquet with blackberry and bilberry notes, a little sulky at the moment but there is clearly plenty of fruit here. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, fine tannin, well judged acidity and plenty of depth. Here the quality of the vineyard finally, belatedly perhaps, shows through as it fans out on the structured finish. I just would like it to "sing" a little more ... but it remains a superb wine. Tasted September 2016.

Score: 94
