Tasting note

Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Musigny Grand Cru from Domaine de la Vougeraie has an exquisite bouquet, perhaps showing just a little oak at the moment that will be absorbed with time, but beautifully defined with smoke, sage and dried blood aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, supple tannins, structured and firm in the mouth, but stoic and impenetrable but opening up and revealing sublime breeding. Like many of Vougeraie's 2012, this seems to be getting better and better in bottle.

Score: 96
