Critics Scores
Vinous
The 2012 Musigny opens with the most exquisite, captivating aromatics imaginable. A seemingly eternal wine with no beginning and no end, the Musigny is a wine that calls for serious introspection as it constantly changes in the glass. Wild flowers of all sorts meld into exquisite, finely-sculpted fruit all with the support of silky tannins that only add to the wine's total sense of refinement. The finish is long, seamless and haunting. There isn't too much more to say, except that the Mugnier's 2012 Musigny is one of the wines of the year.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Musigny Grand Cru from J-F Mugnier was...vexing, despite such an impressive showing from barrel. Here it has muted nose at first and I was not alone in suspecting that there was a touch of brettanomyces at play and consequently it become duller, not brighter with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, perfectly judged acidity and wonderful harmony - far superior to the aromatics, as if eager to make amends. Will it have more to give once that carapace of oak retreats? This was a querulous showing.

A gorgeously spicy nose combines dark pinot fruit liqueur scents, various floral elements and exotic tea notes. There is an ultra-refined mouth feel to the imposingly scaled, concentrated and intensely mineral-driven flavors that brim with dry extract that both imparts a velvety texture and buffers the very firm tannic spine on the explosively long and astonishingly complex finish. Among the hundreds of 2012s that I revisited in bottle on this trip, there were exactly three that I swallowed rather than spit out and this was one of them. A 'wow' wine if there ever was one.
