2017 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru Domaine Release 2022 Comte Georges de Vogüé, Burgund (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2017 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru Domaine Release 2022, Comte Georges de Vogüé

The 2017 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is showing very well indeed, unfurling in the glass with aromas of cherries, rose petal, warm spices and orange rind, framed by creamy new wood. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and velvety, with the greatest depth and dimension of any wine in the cellar, displaying excellent energy and completeness, and distinguished above all by striking length on the finish. - William Kelley, Jan. 2019

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2017 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru Domaine Release 2022, Comte Georges de Vogüé

An openly exotic nose offers glimpses of black cherry liqueur, ginger, Asian-style tea, sandalwood and orange peel along with plenty of floral elements. The tighter and much more mineral-driven big-bodied flavors also possess evident muscle on the powerful and dense yet beautifully refined finish that goes on and on. This is also a bit less structured though with that said, this is going to need at least 15 years to reach its apogee. In sum, this is relatively refined though still a very serious wine. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2020

Vinous - 2017 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru Domaine Release 2022, Comte Georges de Vogüé

The 2017 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is complex and well defined on the nose, where touches of iodine and wild heather infuse the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly grainy texture; notes of black truffle and fresh fig complement a fruit profile that welcomes more red fruit toward the finish. Hints of white pepper and sage linger on the aftertaste. This is certainly beginning to close up in bottle, so allow a decade if you can for this Musigny to show what it is capable of. - Neal Martin, Jan. 2020
