"The 2017 Domaine Mugnier Musigny is breathtakingly beautiful wine and one of the greatest examples of the vintage that I had the pleasure to taste during my three weeks in the region in November. The bouquet is simply brilliant, delivering a magical constellation of red plums, black cherries, raw cocoa, fresh nutmeg, a very complex base of limestone soil elements, pomegranate, a hint of fresh thyme, vanillin oak and an exotic spicy topnote of cardamom. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very sappy at the core, with great synthesis of fruit and complex minerality, ripe, refined and seamless tannins and great length and grip on the vibrant, youthful and utterly profound finish. Pure magic."-John Gilman

The 2017 Musigny Grand Cru is very intense on the nose but shows complexity and terroir expression, offering stunning delineation and crisp red fruit and undergrowth scents. A touch of wild fennel emerges with time, but everything is perfectly controlled. The palate is finely proportioned, perfectly balanced and very pure, with gentle grip. The old purring Rolls-Royce engine here, though I observed it losing some of its initial flair with aeration. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.
