Vinous

The 2023 Musigny Grand Cru comes from Faiveley's 0.14 hectares of vine. It is matured with 50% whole bunch entirely in new oak. This was just about to be bottled to mitigate the influence of the wood. That was a wise decision because the oak is shaping the aromatics at the moment, though there is plenty of attractive red fruit underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant, quite saturated tannins and blood orange infusing the red fruit with a vanillary finish. It has good potential. 11/2024

Inside Burgundy

Altogether a fuller mid purple colour. The bouquet too is more sumptuous, though needing some coaxing, and then the velvety depths start to emerge. High class tension at the back, with the lift which comes from a proportion of whole bunches. Drink from 2032-2045. Tasted Nov 2024.

The 2023 Musigny Grand Cru is lovely, unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, orange rind and rose petals, along with a framing of minty new oak that will integrate with a second winter. Full-bodied, supple and suave, it's deep and complete, with a cool core of fruit, beautifully refined tannins and a long, perfumed finish. As usual, anecdotal volumes mean that it won't be an easy wine to find. Jérôme Flous and his team can't seem to put a foot wrong at Faiveley; and given the high level of vineyard management and skill and precision brought to bear in the winery and the cellar, I think it's fair to say this is one of the finest larger domaine and négociant operations in Burgundy in terms of both quality and consistency. The 2023 vintage has delivered a crop of supple, sensual reds and fleshy but precise whites that will offer broad drinking windows. 01/2025
