"Bottled end October. Fine pale lemon colour with a definite green tint. Tense powerful crisp fruit, the crunchy side of orchard fruit, then builds in richness to the back, before rediscovering its minerality to finish. Notably persistent, I can see the point in Musigny Blanc more easily than I used to! Drink from 2030-2040. " 

Burghound, 95 Points 

"Note: from a .67 ha parcel of chardonnay. A ripe yet distinctly cool nose combines notes of citrus confit, spice, Granny Smith apple, white peach and an all but invisible application of wood. The super-sleek but almost painfully intense larger-bodied flavors possess a mouthfeel that is akin to rolling rocks around the mouth on the bone-dry, youthfully austere and compact, indeed very tautly wound, finale that goes on and on. This is terrific and as good a vintage for this wine as I have seen since the 2015 when they began declaring it as Musigny Blanc again. It won't be easy to find but this is one to strongly consider." 

Vinous, 91-93 Points  

"The 2022 Musigny Blanc Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru was bottled at the end of October. It has an attractive nose with scents of grapefruit, white peach and wax resin, quite pithy in style. The palate is well-balanced with a fennel and walnut-tinged entry. As usual, I'd never get this as a Chardonnay - it's a sui generis - but quite delicious." 

Wine Advocate, 90-92 Points 

"The 2022 Musigny Blanc Grand Cru exhibits aromas of pear, citrus zest, white flowers and musky apricot, followed by a medium-bodied, pure and delicately satiny palate underpinned by racy acids. It's a solid effort."
