2017 Musigny, Vieilles Vignes, Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue (Bottle)

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.

Vinous

The 2017 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Blanc Grand Cru is the third vintage since the domaine elected to reintroduce it as a Musigny instead of a Bourgogne Blanc. It has a generous, quite Rhône-like bouquet with hints of fennel and oregano infusing the pear and white peach fruit. The palate is beautifully balanced, featuring Corton-Charlemagne-like weight and veins of stem ginger and lemongrass toward the persistent finish. I love the weight and generosity here. A swarthy white Musigny that marches to its own beat.

The 2017 Musigny Grand Cru is clearly darker in color than others and quite limpid. Intense black cherry, wild strawberry and cassis scents storm from the glass, nicely defined but primal and showing quite a bit of new oak at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins, fleshy and generous. Quite sweet toward the finish, which is just missing a little depth and complexity considering the status of the vineyard, though it does gain cohesion and poise in the glass. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.
