The 2022 Musigny Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) is brilliant, unwinding in the glass with notes of damask roses, ripe red cherries, blood orange and exotic spices. Full-bodied, deep and layered, it's seamless and multidimensional, with an effortless sense of completeness and a long, resonant finish.
The 2022 Musigny Grand Cru does not hold back with a multi-layered nose of wild strawberry, raspberry, forest floor, pain d'épice and a light ash-like scent. Very absorbing and beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiseled tannins. Impressive depth and grip, as you would expect from a Musigny, with a touch of white pepper and orange rind towards the finish. Very long. It will require 8 to 10 years in bottle, but it's certainly worth the wait.
Moderate reduction flattens the fruit though a floral nuance can be discerned. Otherwise, the lilting, elegant and strikingly refined medium weight flavors also flash evident minerality on the hugely persistent, very firm and impeccably well-balanced finale. This is magnificent and while it too is very clearly built to reward long-term keeping, it should be more than worth the wait.
The Musigny, like the Bonnes Mares, has been given 30% whole bunch vinification. Of the two, this has the more solid purple colour, and definitely a more backward nose. A wealth of fruit completely envelopes the palate but the detail is submerged in the flow. A trace of bitterness behind which is just part of its youth. All is there, will it hit the highest point of majesty? Not sure but I think it will get close as there is a lot here to work with, and more elevage to come. Drink from 2035-2045+.
