Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

The white Musigny was racked just before the harvest, now back in barrel. Clear pale colour even with a faint green reflection. Rather a beautiful gently perfumed nose, flinty yet fine, this year the Musigny Blanc does seem like grand cru quality. A little lemongrass and then a crystalline white fruit. Really promising. Drink from 2028-2035

Three tanks were made, in order of picking, then assembled as there is no terroir logic to them, though this has changed for 2022. A fine bright and reasonably deep purple. Classy with just a touch of pepper. Less immediately compelling that some previous vintages, but it is growing steadily in the glass. There is a huge volume of red and black fruit intertwined with a fresh mineral streak running through the middle, supplying excellent length to complete the job. Splendid stuff! A firmer finish but there is plenty of time for that to resolve. Drink from 2030-2040.

Dense red to crimson. The bouquet is a little more closed than Les Suchots, but with a suggestion of a fair intensity of fruit to follow. Prettily floral, cherry and raspberry too, this is rather stylish, still with a little biscuit note from the barrel, like many of these wines in their youth. Without being in the style of the blockbuster vintages, there is still good energy here for the future. Drink from 2027-2033.

A glowing brisk crimson colour. The bouquet is where it belongs, at the heart of Vosne-Romanée. Still needs a little teasing out though. Good energy at the front of the palate, a useful thread of acidity, the oak lends a light char, then the fruit returns to sweep through to the finish. The acidity is just right, tannins are refined. Fresh crunchy red berry fruit to finish. Drink from 2029-2036.

A little deeper in crimson colouring, and certainly the cleanest bouquet to date. This is lively, a little orange blossom in with cherry and strawberry notes, middleweight but with persistence, this will make an attractive Suchots for the medium term. Drink from 2027-2033.

A clear crimson purple. There is more tension on the nose, much more about the fruit than the stems. The fruit is certainly ripe enough, while the white pepper leaps up to dominate the back end. Still quite backward. Very linear. 81.3% stems included. Not as plump as some years but extra fine. Drink from 2027-2034.

Middling purple, while the nose is rather reticent. Mostly dark raspberry, maybe a bit of cherry. There is certainly more density than the Fils & Père version, a lifted dark red fruit at the finish with very good fruit acid balance. Drink from 2025-2029.

53% destemmed, 47% whole bunches. A lovely depth of colour, with a high-class nose, dark raspberry fruit to the fore. Sweetish raspberry and strawberry on the palate, a little pepper behind, still finding its way, with a slightly drier though persistent finish. Drink from 2027-2033.

60% whole bunch. A rich crimson purple colour. There is vastly more fruit on the nose than the Gruenchers. Mildly reductive, but such a high-class fruit beneath. There is a magical intensity right across the palate, racy, finely balanced and above all persistent. Much more fruit than pepper to finish.
