Vogüé Musigny Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2022

95-100 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "As mentioned in the introduction, there are seven separate parcellaire cuvées of Musigny which will be blended. We tried four of them, representing different sectors. Les Petits Musigny (north): An even purple, succulent red fruit. Fresh raspberry and strawberry, touch of liquorice, very even, fair acidity, soft tannins. Les 13 ouvrees: Stonier than north Musigny. A touch darker in colour and definitely a richer bouquet, more headily floral. More clearly the weight of Musigny, but also shows as quite a bit riper. Grand Musigny Haut: A glowing mid purple. A lovely tensile strength, not so evidently ripe, but correctly so, red to dark red in fruit. Good acidity, and fairly complete. Grand Musigny Bas: Glowing purple perhaps fractionally deeper than the upper part. The nose is less extrovert but clearly has superb class and a poised density. The sense of completeness of GM Haut but noticeably more intense through the mid palate. The fruit is a fraction riper, perfectly so, with a few suggestions of dark raspberry in the fruit. Very persistent indeed and a freshness to the finish, enough to make a major wine. I don’t feel it correct to award five stars until I have seen the full blended wine, preferably in bottle, but I certainly don’t rule that out. Drink from 2035-2050. (Nov 2023)"

99 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "A great Burgundian legend is back in very top form. Enveloping nose of red fruit, red roses and wildflowers. Anything but dramatic, this stuns you with its incredible finesse and extraordinary textural complexity. On the upper edge of medium-bodied, also thanks to the fabulously fine tannins that interlock perfectly with the intense minerality to drive the super-long finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2025. (6/19/24)"

98 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "A tasting of each of the seven 2022 Musigny VV sub-sections and an approximate blend hint at a wine of almost voluptuous sensuality, with expressive mulberry and pomegranate fruit and hints of earth, smoke and liquorice that waft from the glass. The texture is powerfully tannic and dense but almost infinitely silky, and there is a dynamic interplay between the perfumed fruit and robust structure. Ideally, wait a decade before opening. Drinking Window: 2028-2080. (10/31/23)"

97 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Majestic, impressive in its presence and dimensions, the Musigny is rigorous, nobly austere but without anything rigid, more refined and nuanced than in the past. (2025)"

96 points/'Don't miss!' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from an incredible 6.46 ha parcel, which doesn't include the .67 ha section planted to chardonnay). This is aromatically quite similar to the 1er except that it is notably more restrained and requires considerable swirling to coax the nose to reveal its nuances. On the palate though there is noticeably more size, weight and mid-palate density thanks to the abundant sap that imparts a highly seductive mouthfeel while also buffering the firmer, though just as fine, tannic structure shaping the hugely long, youthfully austere and decidedly powerful finish that is akin to rolling tiny rocks around the mouth. This is also positively brilliant with the development potential to match. Drink: 2040+. (Jan 2025)"

94-96 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2022 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is very attractive, bursting with aromas of cherries, raspberries, blood orange, rose petals and vine smoke. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, it's layered and fleshy, with a deep and seamless core of fruit that conceals powdery structuring tannins, concluding with a broad, perfumed finish. If this fulfills all its promise in bottle, it may make my score look conservative. (1/18/24)"

95 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "This was a complicated tasting involving sampling each of the different sectors (that part rather fascinating!) then trying to see the final wine. The "real idea of Musigny", as Jean Lupatelli called it, is laden with sweet and savory barbecue spices, drying flower petals and peak-of-ripeness blueberries. The acidity is strikingly present and high-pitched while the tannins are smooth and satiny. I look forward to tasting this after it is bottled. (Jan 2024)"
