Musigny Grand Cru Monthelie Douhairet Porcheret 1996

The wine

At the heart of the Chambolle Musigny appellation and above Clos Vougeot, Musigny is one of the emblematic crus of the Côte de Nuits vineyards. It has a pure deep red ruby colour. As a young wine, its perfumes evoke violets and sweet fruits, which after a long cellaring become precious and complex: undertones of fallen leaves, earth and moss, together with gamey notes of leather, fur and sometimes meat. The sensations on the palate are incredibly fine and harmonious.
