The 2017 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Blanc from de Vogüé, which I would have last tasted in barrel with former winemaker François Millet, is quite powerful on the nose, in my mind, curiously Côte de Beaune-like in style. Given the growing season in question, I would have liked more tension and -mineralité_. The palate has a lovely, slightly waxy texture with notes of lemon thyme, lanolin and sliced white peaches toward the finish, though to be truthful, it doesn't quite convince that it is Grand Cru through and through. I probably prefer subsequent vintages. 02/2025

Inside Burgundy

Very intense deep purple. There is an impenetrable aspect to the nose, a little lacking in freshness. A very solid, heavyweight wine, high acidity, a bit closed at the moment but could very well surprise much later in life. It is on the four-square side at the moment but we do not need to insist on accessibility in a four year old Musigny. The green apple acidity confuses me a little. Tasted Sep 2021.

The 2017 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is showing very well indeed, unfurling in the glass with aromas of cherries, rose petal, warm spices and orange rind, framed by creamy new wood. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and velvety, with the greatest depth and dimension of any wine in the cellar, displaying excellent energy and completeness, and distinguished above all by striking length on the finish. 01/2019
