Faiveley Musigny Grand Cru 1500ml

Musigny and Petits Musigny are situated on a rocky terrace overlooking the Clos de Vougeot parcel and facing the rising sun. There was previously a Gallo-Roman settlement here owned by a certain Musinus who gave his name to what would later become one of the most prestigious terroirs in the whole of Bourgogne Ten vine owners currently produce Musigny Grand Cru wines and we are the smallest with just three "ouvrées" in surface area. We own two small parcels, one in the North and the other in the heart of the appellation.

Burghound 93-96: Generous wood frames an elegant, pure, airy and sophisticated nose that consists of essence of black cherry, spice and floral aromas. There is an almost pungent minerality on the detailed, sappy and powerful big-bodied flavors that possess a wonderfully appealing texture on the wonderfully long and slightly warm finale. This is impressive but it's exceptionally ripe, indeed to the point where there isn't quite the same vivacity compared to the other grands crus in the range. Still, if your taste runs to lavishly opulent and seductive Musigny, this is one to hunt for.
