"I was very happy to find that the Musigny had not yet been racked at the time of my visit, as it is nice to see at least one wine that is totally on form, so that it makes it far easier to get a proper read on the wines that have been recently racked. In contrast to the recently racked wines, the tug of great minerality can really be felt in the Musigny, as the wine offers up a gloriously complex bouquet of red and black cherries, plums, pomegranate, a very complex base of soil tones, violets, roses, fresh herbs and a gentle base of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very energetic, with a sappy core, classic transparency and mineral drive, fine-grained tannins and lovely focus and grip on the long and perfectly balanced finish."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Produces the most delicate and perfumed reds of the Cote de Nuits, prized for floral elegance and silky texture.
2014 in Burgundy is a benchmark white vintage, tense, fresh and mineral, though Cote de Beaune hail cut yields; the reds are balanced and classically proportioned, with good freshness and medium-term aging potential.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
