(1x75cl) 1985Vinous (98)
The 1985 Musigny Grand Cru is a vintage that I have been lucky enough to drink before, and this bottle is almost identical; indeed, it is highly likely that it originated from the same case. Since the wine has been decanted for a few hours, the bouquet is more immediate than the previous bottle, featuring ethereal, airy red fruit, spellbinding delineation and incredible focus, all wrapped up with almost Les Amoureuses–like precocity. The palate is perfectly balanced with ineffably fine tannins. The fruit is not powerful but intense, revealing hints of red cherry and crushed strawberry, every atom suffused by minerals. This bottle actually showed a little more stalky character than the last and is also a tad more ferrous toward the finish. Yet it remains a magnificent wine even if, dare I say, the 1985 Bonnes-Mares might be just as good or better (at least in magnum).

Saturated dark red. Knockout nose combines blueberry, blackberry, violet, orange peel, crushed rocks and minerals. Almost painful in its pure sappy density, with palate-staining flavors of wild dark berries, flowers, and pepper. And yet this is easier to taste today than the comparatively compact Bonnes-Mares.

(1x75cl) 2008Vinous (93)
The 2008 Musigny Grand Cru, which was vinified with 100% stems, has a bright, clear ruby core with thin bricking on the rim. The refined, characterful nose displays superb definition, offering cranberry and raspberry fruit, crushed rose petal and a leafy component that becomes more pronounced with aeration. You could argue that the stem addition juts out a little, perhaps exaggerated by its juxtaposition against the 2007 Musigny, although I can abide that facet. The palate is medium-bodied with tart red fruit on the entry, plenty of sous-bois and saline characteristics and plenty of depth. It does not possess the opulence of the 2007; it is more a Musigny that wears its heart on its sleeve. I concur with Tanzer’s observation that the stems have not fully assimilated into this wine, and after a decade, I suspect they never will. Yet this is still a thoroughly enjoyable if not fault-free wine. Tasted in November 2018 at the Roumier Musigny dinner at Épure in Hong Kong.Inc. TAX€29,379.73 -

Good deep, bright red. Pungent aromas of small wild berries, mint, rose petal and orange peel, plus a whiff of jammy blackberry. Marvelously silky and sweet, offering an uncanny combination of sheer concentration and inner-mouth perfume and vinosity.

Just less than 0.1 ha (a quarter of an acre). Ancient vines – 1905 or possibly older because the register of vineyards was rewritten in 1905 and when they didn’t know how old a vineyard was they just wrote 1905. His grandfather started as a share-cropper on this vineyard in 1924 and the vines were already old. 80% whole bunch. Barrel sample from a 2016 barrel that is three-quarters of the usual 228-litre size. Deep smudgy crimson. How can grapes become a wine like this? The aroma is outstanding. Deep not explosive, yet still with a prettiness in its seriousness. There’s red and dark fruit, there’s spice, there’s peony, there’s rocky minerality. Super-smooth tannins. Fine grained and not far off silky already. Pure, lifted and precise. Outstanding elegance and length.Inc. TAX€17,308.28 -

An exuberantly floralsuffused nose is also cool, pure and airy with its ripe aromas of the essence of wild red currant and truffle hints.

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes 1er Cru has a fine degree of transparency and definition on the nose of perfumed red cherry and crushed strawberry; hints of blueberry surface with aeration. The oak is nicely integrated here. The palate is sappy on the entry, offering darker fruit than the nose suggests, touches of blood orange and cassis and a hint of menthol right on the finish. Delicious, and it should drink not so long after bottling.Inc. TAX€2,189.04 -

It has a more extravagant, outgoing bouquet compared to Mugneret’s other 2018s, coming across quite sensual, with kirsch, orange zest and light rose petal aromas. The medium-bodied palate offers ripe tannins and a creamier texture than I was expecting, with perhaps more oak to be subsumed with bottle age. Give it three or four years in bottle.Inc.

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes 1er Cru has a fine degree of transparency and definition on the nose of perfumed red cherry and crushed strawberry; hints of blueberry surface with aeration. The oak is nicely integrated here. The palate is sappy on the entry, offering darker fruit than the nose suggests, touches of blood orange and cassis and a hint of menthol right on the finish. Delicious, and it should drink not so long after bottling.In Bond€1,805.00 -
