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.

The 2016 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru was so impressive from bottle a few months earlier, but here under blind conditions it has kicked on and become an heavenly wine. It has a very well defined, entrancing bouquet with red berry fruit, mulberry, forest floor and black truffle aromas that blossom with aeration. The palate displays exquisite balance, almost chalky tannins with a silver bead of acidity and a finish bursting full of tension and race. I adore the energy of this Musigny, its poise and persistence. Given the trauma that Mugnier suffered in its creation, de-selecting two barrel affected by frost, he may well have gone and produced the wine of the vintage. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.
