Tasting notes
There are two barrels of the magical 2020 Musigny Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot), a striking wine that soars from the glass with scents of blood orange, rose petals, wild berries, sweet soil tones and musk. Full-bodied, ample and enveloping, it's vibrant and multidimensional, with a deep, layered core and a long, resonant finish.

The 2020 Musigny Grand Cru has a well-defined bouquet with red cherries, blackcurrant, touches of animal fur and black truffle - very complex and intense. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, wonderful depth and cohesion, the acidity perfectly judged. The 30-40% stems here lends a discrete peppery note on the finish to what is one of the best Musigny that I have tasted from Jadot in recent years. Stunning.
Jadot’s 2020 Musigny begins with a glorious imperial purple colour, suggesting a sumptuous wine to follow. The bouquet follows suit, while the inclusion of 30% whole bunches adds a very slightly smoky dimension up front. So sensual this bouquet, which just grows and grows in the glass. The little smoky aspect doesn’t do it any harm either as it helps to spread out the unreal intensity of the fruit. The Musigny clearly merits the theoretical step up from the lovely Amoureuses.
