98 // Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"A wine that transcends the vintage, Mugnier’s 2017 Musigny Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes wafts from the glass with aromas of wild strawberries, cherry, rose petal, wild blueberries, blood orange and warm spices. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, multidimensional and stunningly pure, caressing the palate with its silky tannins and generous core of crystalline fruit, concluding with a resonant, fragrant finish. It’s a magical Musigny that left me stammering."

95 // Burghound

"A superbly spicy if still surprisingly primary nose combines a wide range of elements that include maraschino cherry, raspberry, lavender, violet, tea and sandalwood as well as a hint of herbal tea character. The super-sleek yet almost painfully intense and powerful big-bodied flavors are shaped by impressively fine-grained tannins on the youthfully austere finish where the power does a slow build from the mid-palate. This is still very young but it’s not so backward that it couldn’t in a pinch be approachable with an hour or so in a decanter. With that said, I would advise continuing to hold for another 5 to 8 years or so. Overall, this is very classy juice, indeed it’s a Musigny of evident distinction."

95 // Vinous

"The 2017 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is the latest release from Mugnier. It has a beautifully defined bouquet with mineral-driven red berry fruit notes, sous-bois and hints of bell pepper in the background. There’s plenty of freshness and transparency here. The palate is very well balanced with fine, gentle grip, linear style and a subtle pepperiness on the finish. This is a sublime Musigny that will drink earlier than other recent vintages."

Description

Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier and his team have produced some of the wines of the 2017 vintage in the Côte de Nuits, and this was among the most thrilling of some two hundred domaine visits. Mugnier’s pure, ethereal style has captured all the succulence and potential elegance of the year, but the wines also possess uncommon depth and intensity. The Musigny is predictably brilliant, a yardstick against which to measure others…
