The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru comes from the 23-year-old vines within Chambertin Grand Cru and is completely de-stemmed. It has a well-defined, focused bouquet of vivid black and red fruit laced with crushed stone and light earthy aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, a little saline in the mouth, and gently grippy toward the finish. It feels tight at the moment, showing a little force on the finish rather than a natural flow, but it should mellow with time.Inc. TAX€876.23 -

Don't miss! The spicy and densely fruited nose is stunningly elegant with breathtaking purity and is followed by rich, intense and powerful broad-scaled flavors that are naturally sweet and precise, all culminating in an explosive and highly persistent finish. This is by no means a really big Musigny yet it is impeccably well-balanced, fresh and complete. In sum, this is a seriously fine effort.Inc. TAX€6,211.68 -
Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (93+)
Good medium red. Slightly reduced, reserved aromas of kirsch, minerals and clove. Quite taut in the mouth, and showing much more energy in bottle than it displayed from barrel in November of 2010. The medicinal redcurrant and red cherry fruit flavors are complemented by saline and pronounced spice qualities. Ultimately silky and classy wine, with a long, clinging finish that shows continuing spice character. This needs a good eight to ten years of bottle aging.Inc. TAX€4,860.72 -

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Musigny 2011 from Jacques Prieur displays more red fruit on the nose compared the blue fruit found elsewhere in this flight of blind Chambolle Amoureuses and Musigny 2011s. It is beautifully defined, perhaps a touch earthier than its peers, with a slight meatiness developing in the glass, subsequently wild heather and broom. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe, quite toasty tannins. There is impressive depth here, although it does not quite possess tip-top finesse and delineation on the finish. Still, this is very fine and here, under blind condition, out-maneuvered some of the more revered names.Inc. TAX€884.93 -

(3x75cl) 2012Wine Advocate (94-96)
The 2012 Musigny Grand Cru comes from Prieur’s 0.77-hectare parcel located in the southern section of the grand cru close to Clos de Vougeot. This year it deigned the world with 9 barrels of which seven were new. It clearly has the most sophisticated, complex bouquet of the domaine’s reds in 2012 adorned with blackberry, raspberry leaf, creme de cassis, minerals and incense. The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation. This has a firm backbone that lends this Musigny a sense of masculinity and sternness, a 2012 that demands you come back in 2022. Very focused with fine mineralite on the finish, this should be cellared away for a number of years. Finally, there is the small matter (literally) of what to my knowledge is one of the most elusive wines in Burgundy.Inc. TAX€3,330.37 -
Burghound (93-95)
(Don't Miss!) The breezy nose is also overtly spicy with markedly ripe yet fresh aromas of plum liqueur, cassis and Asian-style tea nuances. There is outstanding concentration to the powerful yet polished and sleek broad-shouldered and mineral-inflected flavors that are at once muscular and refined while delivering positively terrific depth and length. I very much like the balance and this stunner of a wine should also reward longer-term cellaring.Inc. TAX€5,436.72 -
(3x75cl) 2014Wine Advocate (95-97)
The 2014 Musigny Grand Cru has a deep, dark color. The nose is very refined with very good mineralité coming through with aeration, slightly floral. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, a little grainy in texture, very harmonious and very classy -- among the best I have tasted. Not quite as sensual as say, Domaine de la Vougeraie, but perhaps even more tensile. This is an outstanding Musigny.Inc. TAX€2,957.53 -
(3x75cl) 2015Wine Advocate (94-96)
The 2015 Musigny Grand Cru perhaps somewhat predictably has the most sophisticated bouquet amongst Prieur's red wines, with mulberry and blackberry notes infused with cold stone and subtle sous-bois aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannin that feel quite bony at the moment, although it will mellow and gain more harmony. There is very fine focus on the finish with attractive salinity on the finish. Afford this a decade in the cellar if you can.Inc. TAX€3,024.84 -
Burghound (92-94)
A brooding and beautifully complex nose of spiced plum and a remarkably broad mix of dark berry fruit scents is trimmed in a background application of wood. The opulent, rich, round, velvety and wonderfully refined middle weight flavors display excellent mid-palate density and impressive volume on the superbly long finish where a touch of menthol appears. This too is really very good but note well that it's indisputably built-to-age.Inc. TAX€6,559.68 -
Vinous (92-94)
The 2017 Musigny Grand Cru, which is completely de-stemmed, has a very sensual and generous bouquet with very pretty black cherries, raspberry preserve, overripe Satsuma and mineral scents that gain intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, more backward than the aromatics at the moment but very well balanced with super-fine tannin framing the feminine and quite persistent finish. Good potential here.Inc. TAX€2,465.53 -

The 2018 Musigny Grand Cru is completely de-stemmed. It has a well-defined bouquet of intense blackberry, bilberry and light floral scents, plus touches of incense and pressed iris flowers.

Wildly scented with mulberries, sweet spice, underbrush and department store perfume counter (in a pleasant way), this is aromatically enchanting. Beautifully balanced, the tannins caress while the acidity invigorates the palate. The finish is achingly long. These 75 ares sit just before the chilly Combe d'Orveau and so were picked on September 1st, the penultimate day of harvest. 2024-42Inc. TAX€6,650.63 -

Vinous (91-93)
(totally destemmed; the crop level was just 23 hectoliters per hectare but there was little frost damage here, according to Gublin): Deep red with ruby tones. Deeper, more important nose hints at medicinal dark cherry and spices. A big step up in concentration over the basic Santenots, conveying an almost chocolatey ripeness and terrific density to its kirsch, spice and savory mineral flavors. This fruit was picked four days later than the younger Santenots vines and the wine delivers much more complexity and grip. Shows a relaxed quality that belies the low yield. Excellent balance and potential here.Inc. TAX€951.12 -
Vinous (88-90)
The 2017 Volnay Clos des Santenots 1er Cru is a 1.19-hectare monopole and comes from the oldest vines only. Slightly deeper in colour than the Volnay Santenots, it has an attractive bouquet with violet-tinged black and bluer fruit, perhaps more Volnaysian than the cuvée from the younger vines. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, and crisp acidity. Fresh in the mouth but perhaps the growing season denies the depth and complexity on the finish. Or maybe it has something up its sleeve? We will see - I remain prudent for now.Inc. TAX€958.49 -

Full ruby-red. Wild, ripe aromas of black raspberry, chocolate and licorice. Densely packed, sweet and a bit reduced, with a rather burly, monolithic character today. This deep, thick wine is extremely unevolved in the middle palate, but the tannins are ripe and fine-grained and the finish shows excellent length. I'd forget about this one for a decade.Inc.

The 2016 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots is showing quite well from bottle, offering up aromas of ripe blackberries, plums and cherries, framed by creamy new oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and succulent, with juicy acids, fine tannins and a gently oak-inflected finish. This derives from young vines in Prieur's Clos des Santenots.Inc.

Lifted, strong red cherry unformed aromas. Bright bitter cherry aromas. Frivolous and with a very dry spine – slightly reminiscent of 2006 in Mornington Peninsula! Vibrant fruit with dry tannins on the finish.Inc. TAX€578.24 -

(Mugnier assembled multiple components to make a single representative sample) Good bright red. Lovely floral lift to the aromas of blackberry, cassis, blueberry and maraschino cherry; I might have thought I had my nose in a glass of Chambolle. Broader and less detailed than the Bonnes-Mares but with more obvious sweetness to its dense, sappy red fruit flavors. If this is Chambolle on the nose, the finish shows chewy, more chunky Nuits-Saint-Georges tannins but also a lovely light touch. I asked Mugnier why his Nuits often shows a Chambolle-like character to its fruit, if not to its structure. "Each grower makes a caricature of his appellation," he responded. "It's psychological. And in my case I'm not afraid to make soft, delicate wines."Inc. TAX€3,451.46 -
