Goedhuis, December 2019
A wine which needs almost no introduction, the greatest of vineyards in Chambolle Musigny. Silky, graceful and harmonious, a beautifully distinguished wine. Whilst instantly striking on first taste, it just keeps evolving. An absolute pleasure. As one fellow taster said, “That is my Sophia Loren!”

The 2018 Musigny Grand Cru is matured entirely in new oak. During racking in July, it was decided that one of the two barrels was too toasty, and so the wine was racked into a used Bonnes-Mares barrel. It has a compelling bouquet of intense blackberry, raspberry and floral aromas that seem to explode from the glass. The palate is very well balanced with fine, supple tannins. I adore the symmetry of this Musigny and the panache it exudes toward the very long finish. This is one of the best the domaine has produced. Outstanding. 2024 - 2060

Very generous wood again fights with the spicy and ripe red and dark currant aromas that are cut with pretty floral wisps. There is excellent richness to the punchy and wonderfully textured medium weight flavors that flash good minerality on the somewhat dry and spiky finish that avoids being tough though it would be fair to observe that this is not an elegant version of the appellation. Once again, this is not without interest but the balance isn't what it could be and whether it will ameliorate in time is an open question but I doubt it. Drink 2035+

100% new wood, two barrels. Incredibly powerful dense purple, this is a majestic beast, with excellent acidity, more red fruit than black. The detail of the bouquet not very evident yet. Ultra-concentrated raspberry, burly but not indiscreet, clearly in need of a lot more elevage, but very promising.

This substantial Gevrey Chambertin domaine is under the guardianship of a collaborative family team: parents Christine and Philippe, and children Caroline and Nicolas. They have an embarrassment of riches within their armoury of four 1ers Crus and six exceptional Grands Crus, culminating with plots of both Clos de Bèze and Le Musigny. They also boast one of the finest two storey cellars in the Côte d’Or, built by members of the Prussian military on their way back from the Hundred Years War, with ideal conditions maintaining perfect temperatures for Philippe’s preferred two-year élevage in cask.The wines are ripe, concentrated, and often earthy and textured. They offer terrific value, particularly in Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru.Read less
