Three tanks were made in order of picking then assembled as there is no terroir logic to them though this has changed for 2022. A fine bright and reasonably deep purple. Classy with just a touch of pepper. Less immediately compelling that some previous vintages but it is growing steadily in the glass. There is a huge volume of red and black fruit intertwined with a fresh mineral streak running through the middle supplying excellent length to complete the job. Splendid stuff! A firmer finish but there is plenty of time for that to resolve. Drink from 2030-2040.
The 2021 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru underwent a picked piecemeal
This is compositionally similar to the Chambolle "1er" but the brooding nose only grudgingly displays both notably better complexity and more floral nuances as well a background hint of kirsch. As is always the case there is markedly more size weight and density to the bigger-bodied and notably more powerful flavors that conclude in a very backward compact and even more mineral-driven finish. This is still in need of additional élevage but it should ultimately be quite impressive. (Drink starting 2036)
Exhibiting notes of sweet berries and cherries mingled with notions of rose petals musk blood orange and spices the 2021 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is medium to full-bodied satiny and perfumed with excellent concentration lively acid and sweet supple tannins. Impressively sensual and effortless it represents a very strong start for Jean Lupatelli the estate's new régisseur.
