Musigny is the undisputed pinnacle of Burgundy — often described as the most beautiful expression of Pinot Noir in the world. Located in Chambolle-Musigny, this tiny Grand Cru of barely 10 hectares produces wines of ethereal elegance and incomparable complexity. Joseph Drouhin's Musigny is one of the estate's most treasured and rarest wines.
The Musigny is the reflection of an exceptional and unique terroir. Intensely complex on the nose, incredibly harmonious. The tannins are sensual and delicate but very much alive. Delicious even in its youth, it is a wine that ages graciously, revealing subtle and refined aromas of supreme elegance.
