Musigny 2020 Jadot

Avis professionnels

There are two barrels of the magical 2020 Musigny Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot), a striking wine that soars from the glass with scents of blood orange, rose petals, wild berries, sweet soil tones and musk. Full-bodied, ample and enveloping, it's vibrant and multidimensional, with a deep, layered core and a long, resonant finish.

Much like the Amoureuses, the dazzling nose of plum, black raspberry and floral scents is super-spicy with its combination of anise, sandalwood, clove, hoisin and dried orange peel nuances. There is both outstanding volume and even better intensity to the more mineral-driven, concentrated and focused flavors that exude a touch of bitter pit fruit character on the hugely long, balanced and highly complex finale. This is very classy juice that should age gracefully for the better part of two decades.

Jadot’s 2020 Musigny begins with a glorious imperial purple colour, suggesting a sumptuous wine to follow. The bouquet follows suit, while the inclusion of 30% whole bunches adds a very slightly smoky dimension up front. So sensual this bouquet, which just grows and grows in the glass. The little smoky aspect doesn’t do it any harm either as it helps to spread out the unreal intensity of the fruit. The Musigny clearly merits the theoretical step up from the lovely Amoureuses.
