97 points Allen Meadows - Burghound

 This is the first wine in the Drouhin range that I would describe as generously wooded though the oak toast isn't so strong as to completely relegate the wonderfully spicy dark berry fruit, violet, anise, orange pekoe tea and cigar box aromas to the background. The almost painfully intense large-scaled flavors display obvious power and minerality that carries over to the superbly complex, persistent and ...

The Story

The village of Chambolle-Musigny lies in the very heart of the Côte de Nuits. The Musigny vineyards lie above the Clos de Vougeot between the Premier Cru climat Les Amoureuses and the Grand Cru Échezeaux. The altitude varies from 260 to nearly 300 m. The southern portion rises towards the plot known as Combe d'Orveau which marks the boundary between Musigny and Flagey-Échezeaux.
The Musigny family, which gave its name to the appellation, is n...

Wine Information

The 2016 crop was low in quantity but its quality provides a nice surprise. The mature grapes gave deep ruby-coloured wines displaying notes of black fruit mingled with hints of violet and spices. The palate is round and generous. The wines are typical of their terroir.

2016 RED BURGUNDY VINTAGE REPORT

The 2016 harvest was, of course, later for Pinot Noir in the Côtes de Nuits, and some climats had different productions depending on how they weathered the frost of April 26th. In this report I will talk about each of the producers’ allocations to illustrate the variations between the totals from the 2015 and 2016 vintages. I will also seek to give you an idea of the style of the 2016 red wines versus those ...

Written Notes

An amazingly graceful, elegant yet persistent Musigny that is ethereal as well as intense. A bouquet of red flowers greets you on the nose and on the palate, there is a confident harmony and insistence of lingering flavors in this wine. Only 2 barrels made in this vintage.

  • 96p

This too is very ripe yet the reserved array of plum, black currant, violet and wonderfully broad range of spice elements manages to remain quite fresh. There is seriously good concentration to the powerful yet refined and elegant flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the intensely mineral-driven finish that seems to last for minutes. This is a bona fide 'wow' wine but note well that it's one for the patient.

  • 96p

As it was last year, when I went out on a limb and awarded it a perfect 100-point score, this is the best Drouhin wine of the vintage. Sourced from a parcel of 0.5 hectares, it's the quintessence of fine red Burgundy from one of the greatest vineyards on the planet. Silky, velvety and pure, it's a wine to wallow in, or wear as a perfume if you can afford it. Such finesse! Such grace! Such delicacy! 2026-36

  • 99p

Musigny is remarkable for its great purity of colour. The aromas are reminiscent of violet and fruit stone when the wine is young. After eight to ten years, these aromas become very refined and complex: fallen leaves, damp earth, moss and hints of fur or leather. The tasting sensations are incomparable in terms of finesse and harmony. The tannins are elegant, although very much alive. Silk and velvet match the liveliness of the acidity. The lingering aftertaste is dominated by hints of rare, exotic woods as well as candied cherry".
