Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Vieilles Vignes Musigny Grand Cru 2019

From mature vines and a majestic site, the completely destemmed fruit – fermented without punching down – gives a complete wine that is seductive even now and should continues to astonish with age. Layered and complex, the initial impression is of opulent black cherry fruit, liquorice and rose petals. On the palate, the wine is surprisingly fresh and firm, yet also shows an immediately appealing, voluptuous texture. This tightly packed wine will likely benefit from as much age as you can stand to give it. Drinking Window: 2029-2049. Score – 98. (Charles Curtis, MW, decanter.com, Jan. 24, 2021)
