Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (97)

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.

Vinous (97)

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.

Jasper Morris (97)

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+.
