Bottle Size: 75cl

Region: France: Burgundy Red

Colour: Red

Style: Still

Grape Variety: Pinot Noir

Mugnier’s millennial Musigny Grand Cru (that is my tongue-twister of the day) has a transparent bouquet with brilliant delineation, a nose where the spaces between the notes are as important as the notes themselves. Light, brambly red fruit and cold limestone: not complex but very focused. The palate is pure and harmonious with no rough edges, a featherweight but athletic Musigny, with more persistency than the nose suggests. This is a delightful grand cru, although I would not cellar it long-term. Drink now-2019. Tasted November 2013. 92 Points Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate
