Comte Georges de Vogüé Musigny Blanc 2020 (150cl)

There is a subtle note of petrol is present on the admirably pure and cool aromas of apple, pear, lemon-lime and mineral reduction. The succulent, concentrated and almost painfully intense larger-scaled flavors brim with both dry extract and an almost aggressive stoniness that adds a sense of lift to the powerful yet refined, chalky and youthfully austere finale. Like the '21 version, this compact, bone-dry and borderline tannic effort is clearly very backward, and I would expect an almost glacial evolution in bottle though it should be well worth the wait. A classic Musigny blanc. Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (91), June 2023.
