Aromas of blood orange, rose petals and ripe wild berries introduce the 2017 Musigny Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot), a full-bodied, deep and layered wine with superb depth and mid-palate amplitude, a generous core of sappy fruit and fine, chalky structuring tannins. It's a gorgeous Musigny that might well develop along the lines of the superb 2000 rendition. Barnier told me that this was one of the few cuvées chez Jadot that saw some whole cluster this year.
This has significantly the darkest colour and the most fruit weight of the three, relatively sumptuous. Here the whole bunches show on the nose even though there is such a volume of fruit. Almost some black fruit here: this is more regal, with very dark raspberry and sublime intensity at the very back.
