RATINGS

94Stephen Tanzer

Knockout, exotic, high-pitched perfume of raspberry, blood orange, peach and spices... Pure silky elegance in the mouth; wonderfully intense, fine-grained and aromatic, with an impression of weightlessness...very suave, supple wine from a fairly full crop really vibrates on the finish.

91-93The Wine Advocate

It has a well defined bouquet, red rather than black fruit today: raspberry preserve, tobacco, wild strawberry and a touch of peppermint... The palate is smooth in the mouth, very supple with quite firm tannin...touch of Hoisin on the finish.

18Jancis Robinson

Red cherry fragrance. Beautifully structured with freshness and dry texture but with scented fruit already revealed on the palate. Elegant, tight and long. Extreme refinement.

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.
