2017 Musigny Grand Cru, Domaine J-F Mugnier

Fre´de´ric held back this wine as he wished to ensure that it benefited from necessary ageing in bottle, and to spare Musigny-lovers the frustration of opening a bottle to try, when it was far from ready. Musigny develops on a different time-scale to other wines, he explained. “It always takes 10 years to come round, but there’s a hint of its hidden complexity at five years old. To offer Musigny five years later than my other wines allows another dimension. Drinking one younger, you can get pleasure, but only a part of the pleasure.” This 2017 is garnet-purple with a deep, red-brown rim. The nose is wonderful, with lovely spice and fascinating complexity. Palate is plump and fresh, with all elements in harmony, superb length and exquisite aftertaste (for drinking – no hurry – from 2025-2045+).
