Burghound, May 2008, Score: 93
Still relatively if no longer completely primary with very sappy pinot fruit, note of rosemary and black cherries, anise and clove with earthy flavors and a pronounced minerality. This is not especially dense and the tannins are quite fine with a certain dusty aspect to them. That said, this is a powerful wine with excellent length and perfect balance which should live for a very long time. Multiple and consistent notes though one recent bottle displayed some finishing dryness.

It has been in the hands of the same family which is now in its 20th generation.George's grand-daughters Clare de Causans and Marie de Ladoucette are the family members presently involved.Currently the wine is overseen by Francois Millet as winemaker and Eric Bourgogne as chef de vignes. The vineyards spread to 12.5 hectares. They, amazingly, adapt their techniques depending on the conditions of the particular vintage, and rather disparage those who have a single "best" technique every year. This, hopefully, allows a purer expression of the raw material and vintage.Read less

The wines of Le Musigny are some of the best in Burgundy on a par with those of Romanée Conti, La Tâche, Richebourg, Chambertin and Chambertin Clos de Bèze.
