(95-98 points) 2017 is the first year to combine the original Faiveley plot and their new purchase. Concentrated purple. There is a slight new oak reduction, toasty, apparently this happens every year and will disappear at the racking. Then a sublime coating of a rich velvet texture, in an oaky envelope, with an immensely long finish, succulent ripe fruit, gorgeous. The parallel between Musigny and Château Margaux pops into my mind.

(95-97) The 2017 Musigny Grand Cru comprises a blend of the original parcel and the new postage-stamp-sized acquisition between de Vogüé and Roumier. Erwan Faiveley said that his father enjoyed tannic wines and that his only exception was Musigny - because it was so small, it was the only wine vinified using gravity. There is quite a hefty reduction on the nose that makes this difficult to read. The palate, though, is pure class, with filigreed tannin, wonderful focus, firm grip and a very mineral-driven finish. Outstanding.- NM

The Faiveley Musigny was fermented with 100% whole bunches in 2017 then aged entirely in new wood. It's quite a structured, ambitious wine with comparatively dense tannins, some smoky reduction and a meaty undertone. It needs a year or two in bottle to show its class.
