Mugnier Musigny Grand Cru

About this product

Frédéric Mugnier's 0.5-hectare parcel in Le Musigny — one of the great Burgundy unicorns. Around 800 bottles per year. The philosophy is absolute minimalism — whole-cluster fermentation, native yeasts, no new oak, no additions. The wine is astonishingly pale and translucent yet achingly complex. Considered by many sommeliers to be the finest red wine on earth at its peak — around 15 years from vintage. BC: auction only.
