  Roumier Musigny vertical. Dark ruby. Really quite reticent aromatically, needed 3-4 hours to reveal eventual sweetness. Dense, simply needs much more time. The core is amazingly elegant, polished and pure red fruit. Long distance runner.

  Fantastic '07. Very little evolution to-date, no secondaries, yet enjoyable. Light mineral and soil notes very clear here under the elegant fruit. 96+

  " Musigny : Case Study "
  Every bottle has its own style and very difficult to pick WOTN due to the price difference. Anyway, here's some TN.
  2007 Musigny : G.Roumier
  " The Table Wine "
  My table wine is the wine that's easy to drink to enjoy. The nose is simply good and the taste too. Roumier's wine makes me feel like this every time when I drink it. And today when drinking along with those gorgeous wines, I'm sure, I won't buy it anymore. It's too expensive for just a normal good bottle of Musigny.
  The only thing that makes me surprised is the beautiful, silky tannin structure from an average vintage like 2007.
  Aftertaste is so so, not good not bad. 92-93/100 not more.
  ps. I choose it to drink first because if we drink this wine after the others, we will be more upset about its price.
  Say Goodbye to " The beautiful woman but not charming " IMHO.
  2006 Musigny : Louis Jadot
  " The Classic One "
  I always love Jadot and happy very time when drinking the austere style of wine-making but Musigny is a beautiful wine so Jadot can do it better than other Jadot's wine. Nose is simply good, firm tannin structure, fuller body and develop very nice after 90 mins, delicious and good detail with the lovely powerful aftertaste.
  It is the best value for money among those bottles in this group.
  Say Hello to " The beautiful and easy going woman " and I need you the most.
  2002 Musigny : Faiveley
  " The Super Special Wine "
  Then I choose this wine to be #3 to drink because the smell shows up so tempting and Wowww.... 1st nose is super spicy reminds me of Romanee-Conti and develops beautifully to show the true terroir of Musigny, seriously austere yet elegant and so powerful within its scents.
  The texture and the structure are super splendid as I can hold it in my mouth for a long long time, round, lovely dense, fresh and perfect ABC, acidity, balance and complex. Great Great Great !!!
  And the greater one is the aftertaste, tight, super very long long finish like the 100/100 wine. Amazing Wine !!!
  Thank God to bring " The Brave and Beautiful Sharapova " to our dinner.
  2007 Musigny : Leroy
  " The All-Time Attractive Wine "
  Let's see what she can do and hope she can get over it !!
  Leroy's Musigny is always beautiful, not much Leroy's flowery scent. She tends to let the terroir speak. Sweet strawberry scent with a hint of some Leroy's flowers. This is good but I never fall in love so deep with her 2007.
  To drink it after top vintage Faiveley is wrong. Leroy is just a simply great wine, good structure, well balance, delicious with a very good impact aftertaste but not very long finish. Too expensive for this bottle, 95/100.
  May be we better stay away from " The Beautiful Woman, High Society and Spoiled " but if she loves you, you are the lucky guy.
  2002 Musigny : Comte Georges Vogue
  " The One "
  I won't say much about this producer because you're already know about it. I just want to tell that 2002 from Vogue is really great and can go for another 40-50 years. I choose all the bright color vintage to drink and it is showing well, still showing some tiny mild wood but very a promising.
  This wine has the same style of Roumier but very much cheaper. If you have many bottles of 2002, let's drink it once in next 6 years when the color turning bright again and I will do so.
  Nice to see you " The Beautiful and Easy Going Young Lady Girl " and looking forward to seeing you again and again.
  2006 Musigny : JF Mugnier
  " The Rising Star "
  This wine needs more breathing time to show the true character. This is the most mysterious Musigny but full of charming scents. It is like Jadot but more prettier, more detail. This is like a beautiful young lady that you like to talk to, not boring at all. I think I can be with this wine all through the night...long long night. I choose this wine to drink slowly after meal and it will be better is drinking only just a few friends, take time to listen what she's saying. Glad to have some bottles left in the cellar.
  Where have you been " The Sweet-Talking Woman " and you can say anything but don't say goodbye.
  Thanks all my friends for supporting this wonderful moment even 2 of us really can't join the evening but we still have many good wines to be drunk together. I promise.
  Tonight...no one wins and no one left to lose !!

  Les Nomades BYO Dinner (Les Nomades Chicago): As Kevin put it, Roumier Musigny is the Unicorn of wines--you hear a lot about it but never actually see it. This was absolutely stuff and my first experience with this wine. Pure and beautiful nose of red fruit, cinnamon, hint of earth and minerals. Unbelievable detail and finesse on the palate. A 'complete' wine and a study in power without weight. The finish lasted for minutes.

  One rarely sees Roumier’s Musigny anywhere but there were two tables drinking it in the restaurant today. The 2007 G.Roumier Musigny is one of the most deliciously complete young wines I have ever drunk. It had an ethereal perfume of Arum lilies, violets, pomegranate, cranberry, cherry and earth. It is one of those wines that have remarkable complexity and presence without any sensation of heaviness whatsoever; kind of like a ‘matrix’ wine where the palate gets a full 360 degree snap shot of all the flavours in slow motion. Tannins and acidity just occupy a space and it has a sensual, lacy texture. It builds and is so fine and delicate, finishing with superb cut, fanning out to leave a gorgeously savoury perfume wafting around the gums once swallowed.
