2018 Domaine de la Vougeraie Musigny Grand Cru

Other Reviews....
Not surprisingly this is less aromatically expressive today with its elegant and super-fresh if restrained array of various ripe dark berries, violet, lavender, exotic tea and impressive range of spices. There is equally good volume, power and muscle to the full-bodied flavors that brim with minerality on the explosively long and impeccably well-balanced finish. This is a very serious and stunningly good Musigny of lace and grace that is indisputably built-to-age so plenty of patience strongly advised. In a word, magnificent.

The beautiful 2018 Musigny Grand Cru soars from the glass with notes of violets, rose petals, raspberries and blood orange. On the palate, it's full-bodied, layered and racy, with fine tannins and terrific intensity, though it's less overtly muscular at this stage than the blockier Bonne Mares. This, too, is very promising.

The 2018 Musigny Grand Cru is 100% whole-bunch fruit and comprises three barrels this year. It has considerably more intensity on the nose compared to the Bonnes-Mares, featuring blackberry, raspberry and light briar scents, hints of tangerine and a splash of soy. The medium-bodied palate offers supple tannin, fine acidity and a fleshy texture, although it does not possess the complexity and breeding of previous Musignys I have tasted from the domaine. A lovely wine, albeit one that I would broach earlier than others.

100% whole bunch. Gorgeous glowing purple, explosive perfumed grapes, dark cherry, ripe raspberry, something of all the sensual red fruits. The rose bush is in evidence too. Still quite a sense of delicacy on the palate, a welcome touch of acidity, this is very fine but not quite the intensity of some Musigny examples.
