    May 18, 2023 - Definitely shows the classic flavors produced from this unique vineyard with tangy citrus fruits and a lovely minty note. Not overly complex and a bit buttery but still with good acidity. Not up to par with the wines made prior to the mid-'90's replanting so I'd like to try a more recent vintage to see if the wines are now starting to improve with sufficient vine age.

    March 31, 2019 - Creamy, deep yellow-red fruit tone with serious mineral backbone. Maturing slowly. Great body and acidity, close to Grand Cru weight (a few called Grand Cru/Premier Cru called in blind). A good reflection of the Musigny terroir, but I feel it is not as energetic as it should, definitely not premox or corked, but the subtlety is not quite right. (90?/100)

    May 24, 2018 - Wildflower, honey, tropical. Intense, mineral and pretty resolved. 45% lost to hail.

    April 8, 2017 - On a fruit day. Uncorked two hours in advance. This bottle shows no sign of premox, which is different from another bottle from the same case tried two nights before. Very tight on both bouquet and palate. Mineral driven with very weak fruits and finish with subtle acidity. I guess it needs more air or ageing. But who would like to bet on this with the risk premox

    April 18, 2016 - [Grand Millesime's "A Decade of de Vogüé Musigny 1999-2008" Dinner at Circa Restaurant, Melbourne] Very pale straw color. Grapefruit white peach bouquet with hints of dried white flowers, mineral, limestone, pear, nectarine, lime, white pepper, nutmeg & smoke. Medium weight, moderately intense, deep, broad, clean, forward & approachable with medium fine acidity in very good balance; nothing special & certainly does not merit Musigny blanc label. Moderately long, reasonably persistent finish.

    January 18, 2014 - Petty snappy acidity, loads of citrus, smoke. Good but nowhere near its pedigree.

    January 22, 2012 - I Really enjoyed this. We drank it as number three of thirteen tasted at a wine dinner this afternoon. I tasted and smelled a slight pine flavor to the wine. It was pale yellow in color with apple, lemon and a little butterscotch on the palate. It had a good acidity up front and was well balanced. It paired very well with Alaskan Staple Fish, truffles and Acorn Squash Sauce as a first course.

    July 30, 2011 - Served Blind and quite impressed with myself that I went right to it, though I thought 2002. Crisp, clean aromatics of lemon, pear, white flowers, and crushed rock. Nice richness to the palate. Juicy fruits. Great acidity and minerality all throughout. Great showing. Thank you Alan!

    July 30, 2011 - Another Saturday at Knightsbridge - mostly blind (Northbrook, IL): Moderately floral nose, very clean. Flavors show crisp, clean apple and pear flavors with great acidity and minerality and a reasonable amount of baby fat in the middle. Opened for a friend's birthday, this bottle showed much better than the last time I tried this in October 2010.
