2023, Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé, MUSIGNY V.V, Grand Cru

I asked for the blend rather than tackling the individual components. A fine bright rich purple. An exquisite bouquet, still a baby but you can feel that there is a multitude of detail to follow. The fruit flows exquisitely across the palate. There is some barely ripe redcurrant fruit, a wealth of fresh raspberry and strawberry, then some darker fruit, a perfect poise and balance with tannin and acidity, and exquisite length. This is growing on me in steady stages. Resonance is the word, thinks Jean Lupatelli. Drink from 2033-2048.

I tasted the 2023 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru both as components from the seven different cuvées that make the final blend and as an approximation of the final blend itself. This has exquisite delineation on the nose: blackberry, raspberry, crushed stone and touches of undergrowth—very harmonious. The palate is medium-bodied, tightly wound and linear, with a sense of symmetry on the entry. But of all the Musigny tasted from barrel in 2023, this has perhaps the most nascent freshness, tension and complexity on the finish. A sense of completeness. Outstanding.

The 2023 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru, which we tasted from a variety of sub-parcels, is very promising, mingling aromas of dark berries and cherries with notions of orange zest, rose petals, incense and iris. Medium to full-bodied, cool and layered, with a rich core of fruit framed by ultra-refined tannins, it's suave and harmonious, with a long, fragrant finish. This accomplished Musigny only confirms that de Vogüé is performing on a high level today.

A more restrained if just as pretty and equally perfumed nose displays a similar array of red and dark cherry, exotic jasmine tea and dried orange peel along with a hint of sandalwood. On the palate the broad-shouldered and even more concentrated flavours manage the trick of being more powerful but also more refined with an almost aggressive minerality that seems to build in intensity on the compact, youthfully austere and massively long finale. This is however exceptionally firm and is very much a 'buy and forget you own it' wine. In a word, superb.
