Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (97)

It is still far too early to be opening bottles of Mugnier's 2012 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru, but when faced with a keenly priced bottle on a restaurant wine list, knowing that it will soon be drunk by another guest if it isn't by oneself, what is one to do? Unwinding in the glass with a profound but youthfully reserved bouquet of raspberries, cherries, rose petals and Egyptian musk, it's full-bodied, velvety and ineffably complete, with a bottomless core of cool, precise fruit, exquisite structural refinement and a long, penetrating finish.

Jancis Robinson (19)

Some vines planted in 1940s and others 1958-1963. Quite deep crimson. Pretty majestic nose. Dense and much more introvert than the Amoureuses. At the moment a bit angular and incommunicative. A little bit severe.

BOW (9.25)

Burghound (96)

A gorgeously spicy nose combines dark pinot fruit liqueur scents, various floral elements and exotic tea notes. There is an ultra-refined mouth feel to the imposingly scaled, concentrated and intensely mineral-driven flavors that brim with dry extract that both imparts a velvety texture and buffers the very firm tannic spine on the explosively long and astonishingly complex finish. Wow.
