(94-98 points) 30% whole bunch vinification, both barrels are new. Glowing deep purple, a super succulent heady nose worthy of the great Musigny. The depth of the wine significantly outweighs even the Clos de Bèze, and the wood integrates properly. This is a fine, distinguished Musigny. Medium plus length.

(93-96 points) The 2022 Musigny Grand Cru has also turned out very well, bursting with aromas of dark berries, berries, licorice and exotic spices, followed by a full-bodied, layered and almost unctuous palate with a satiny attack that segues into a multidimensional core, concluding with a saline finish. - WK

(94-96 points) The 2022 Musigny Grand Cru was showing a lot of reduction on the nose that slightly occluded the fruit (although it had been racked in July). The medium-bodied palate with supple tannins is quite deep with fine grip, offering lightly-spiced black fruit laced with truffle and a hint of licorice. A multifaceted Musigny this, mercurial in the glass. This will be fascinating to revisit in bottle. - Neal Martin

(92-95 points) A distinctly floral-inflected nose reflects notes of kirsch, poached plum, raspberry confit and an impressive range of spice elements. The beautifully refined and pure flavors possess excellent authority that really emerges on the powerful, mineral and driving finish where touches of austerity and bitter pit fruit character slowly emerge. This is elegant but powerful with excellent development potential.

Drouhin-Laroze owns 0.12 hectares of Musigny that they acquired in 1986, located in Grand Musigny, running the entire length of the vineyard, sandwiched between vines of de Vogüé. They own enough for two barrels in a good year. 20% of the grapes are fermented as whole clusters, and the wine is aged initially in new casks, but one is racked into a used barrel. It is a very showy wine with ample aromas of ripe blackberry and plum, gingerbread, flowers, and black tea notes. Give this a few years to absorb the oak; it will be a lovely, approachable wine.
