This grand cru needs little introduction. It is, in the eyes of many, the greatest site in Burgundy, where Pinot Noir reaches its apogee.The Tawse Musigny is always a fine-boned wine, and made in an elegant style that means it approaches its drinking window ahead of some neighbours’, but with the signature Musigny svelte-like tannins on full display. Destemmed by hand, it has a lightness of touch about it that sets it apart. Volumes in 2022 are mercifully better than in 2021, but this is still a rare and highly sought-after wine that has queues of buyers for just a handful of bottles.

The 2022 Musigny Grand Cru is 100% whole bunches, but every berry is manually snipped off the stem. It is matured in a 340-liter tailor-made new barrel. It has a very floral bouquet, red roses in an antique vase, red berry fruit and crushed stone, gaining intensity with each swirl in the glass. The palate is well-balanced and handles the new wood in stride. Layers of sweet red berry fruit, crushed strawberry and raspberry laced with oyster shells. It is very composed towards the finish, with impressive ripeness and depth. Lots of rondeur here. Long-term and serious.
Not much fruit comes from the upper of the two plots, but the team is getting there. Not deep in colour. The bouquet shows class and finesse, but not total Musigny majesty. Grapes from the upper part were vinified as whole bunches, those from the lower plot retained their little pedicel stems. The glory does arrive though on the palate and it is pretty stunning, all in a very fresh red fruit, with the intensity entirely at the back of the palate. I particularly noted the saline aspect which seems to be typical of the pedicel technique. Drink from 2035-2045. Tasted: December 2023.
