RATINGS

95The Wine Advocate

...mineral overlays to the sweetly ripe berry and pit fruit concentrate... intriguing as it is eager to caress and please. Plush, polished and possessed of formidable sheer sap, energy and interplay... keeps you salivating uncontrollably...

Pungent aromas of raspberry, strawberry, minerals, crushed stone and flowers, complicated by subtle notes of lichee and mango. A stony, chalky wine with terrific sappy precision and energy. Here the slightly exotic candied quality simply...

...hidden depths and texture rather than flavour. Great finesse as well as purity of fruit.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits-Villages, Chambolle-Musigny, Le Musigny

Musigny is considered one of the greatest vineyards in the Cote d’Or, in Burgundy. At 26.5 acres it includes two sections, Grand Musigny and Les Petits Musigny. The vineyard is 260 to 300 meters in elevation and the soil is unusual for the region, a mix of limestone and red clay. Comte de Vogue owns about three-quarters of the vineyard, with a holding of 17 acres. The next largest landowners are Jacques-Frederic Mugnier, with 3.2 acres; and Jacques Prieur with 1.7 acres. Also noteworthy is Leroy’s tiny .7 acre holding. Though most of the vineyard is planted to Pinot Noir, Comte de Vogue plants a small parcel of Chardonnay, which is sold as Bourgogne blanc due to the relatively youth of the Chardonnay vines. Wine writer Clive Coates has written that “at its best the red wine (of Musigny) can be quite simply the most delicious wine to be found in Burgundy.”

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
