98AM
"Like several of these 2009s, this was initially somewhat reduced but with concerted swirling it departs to reveal a kaleidoscopically expansive nose of breathtaking complexity that leads to focused, powerful and incredibly concentrated flavors that possess explosive yet controlled focus on the massively long finish that just doesn't seem to stop. Indeed, I had to ask for a brief pause before continuing on to the Clos de la Roche as the finish of the Musigny was literally that persistent. As hard as it might be to believe it's possible that even with a rarified score of 98 it might still surprise to the upside in time. I stress however that this wine is only for those who intend to wait as it is, outside of the Chambertin, the most structured wine in the range."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Produces the most delicate and perfumed reds of the Cote de Nuits, prized for floral elegance and silky texture.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
