Terroir

This is one of the greatest terroirs in the Côte de Nuits. The vineyard is located on a fault overlooking the Clos Vougeot and bordering on the Combe d’Orveau. Le Musigny has south-east facing sun exposure and a unique, sunny microclimate. The thin, light soil has a high proportion of stones that not only guarantee good drainage, but also store heat in the daytime and release it at night. The grapes are always very ripe and produce a velvety nectar with lovely floral (violet) aromas and an impressively long aftertaste.

Vinification

The grapes were handpicked into small crates, then sorted and totally destemmed. The wine stayed on the skins for 18 days in temperature-controlled open oak vats. Pigeage (punching down the cap) was done twice a day during alcoholic fermentation. 100% malolactic fermentation The wine was aged entirely in oak barrels. Duration of barrel ageing : 21 months

Tasting Notes

COLOR: Dark ruby red, intense purple disk. NOSE: Very spicy-vanilla notes, evolving with aeration into floral and menthol notes. PALATE: Juicy, fruity, with ripe, fresh black cherry flesh. Dense, spicy tannins with a certain firmness and freshness.
