As usual, the 2022 Musigny Grand Cru is a micro-cuvée from a tiny 0.03-hectare parcel. Wafting from the glass with aromas of black cherries, wild berries, incense, licorice and exotic spices, it's full-bodied, seamless and perfumed, with a deep and multidimensional core of fruit, supple tannins and a long, resonant, intensely saline finish.
Still very closed and slightly flinty on the nose (reduction of this level is entirely normal during barrel ageing). However, the ravishing beauty of the palate leaves no doubt that this is a very great Musigny. So incredibly silky you want to bathe in it. The finish is off the scale in terms of length, precision and delicacy.
