Musigny Vieilles Vignes Vv Comte Vogue 2021 (OWC 3)

Description

By Jasper Morris in 2022 (JM95-97)

Three tanks were made, in order of picking, then assembled as there is no terroir logic to them, though this has changed for 2022. A fine bright and reasonably deep purple. Classy with just a touch of pepper. Less immediately compelling that some previous vintages, but it is growing steadily in the glass. There is a huge volume of red and black fruit intertwined with a fresh mineral streak running through the middle, supplying excellent length to complete the job. Splendid stuff! A firmer finish but there is plenty of time for that to resolve.

By Wine Advocate (WA94)

Exhibiting notes of sweet berries and cherries mingled with notions of rose petals, musk, blood orange and spices, the 2021 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is medium to full-bodied, satiny and perfumed, with excellent concentration, lively acid and sweet, supple tannins. Impressively sensual and effortless, it represents a very strong start for Jean Lupatelli, the estate’s new régisseur.
