“Jacques Prieur’s 2011 Musigny displays more red fruit on the nose than other 2011 Chambolle Amoureuses and Musignys, which tend to feature blue fruit. It’s beautifully defined, perhaps a bit earthier than its peers, with a hint of meaty notes that develop in the glass, followed by wild heather and broom. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with supple, ripe, and fairly toasty tannins. There is impressive depth here, even if it lacks a bit of finesse on the finish. Nevertheless, this is a very refined wine, and when tasted blind, it outperforms some of the biggest names. ” (Wine Advocate 2014 – Robert Parker)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2018 guide): 4* Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
Édouard Labruyère’s enthusiasm and determination to elevate this estate to the ranks of the grands crus are remarkable. His efforts are evident in the vineyard—which has been farmed organically since 1997—in the cellar, where foudres and demi-muids have been in use since 2012, and, most importantly, in the glass. With its exceptional range of grands crus across 22 hectares of vineyards—including 17 hectares in the Côte de Beaune and an exclusive selection of grands crus in the Côte de Nuits—this estate possesses all the qualities needed to join the elite ranks of Burgundy’s estates.
