Musigny Grand Cru is widely regarded as one of Burgundy's greatest vineyards and perhaps the finest expression of Pinot Noir in the world. It occupies a limestone terrace overlooking Clos de Vougeot, between the Combe de Chambolle and the Combe d'Orveaux, with an ideal east-facing exposure. Its name is believed to derive from Mucius, a Gallo-Roman landowner who cultivated vines on this hillside nearly two thousand years ago. Later, the monks of Cîteaux elevated Musigny to the legendary status it enjoys today. The brown limestone soil, with little clay and scattered limestone scree, produces a wine of extraordinary finesse, combining power, sensuality and perfect harmony with timeless elegance.
