Domaine Faiveley - Musigny Le Musigny 2018 (750ml)

Decanter, Burgundy 2018 Vintage Report Chambolle-Musigny (10/20/2018)
(Domaine Faiveley, Musigny Grand Cru, Burgundy, France, Red) It's not a wine,' says Jérôme Flous, 'it's an experience.' Well, maybe. Now made from two parcels, it sees 50% whole clusters and 100% new wood, producing a wine that is firm, tannic and savoury with lots of ageing potential. It's not the most graceful Musigny of the vintage, but there's plenty of fruit weight and intensity on the palate. (Drink between 2028-2038)  95 points

Wine Advocate 95-97

"There's an almost unprecedented 400 bottles of Faiveley's 2018 Musigny Grand Cru this year, a tiny cuvée that was vinified with 50% whole cluster. Soaring from the glass with a profound bouquet of cherries, wild berries, peonies, incense and licorice, the wine is full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with superb balance and a long, resonant finish. This is one wine that has entirely sublimated the sun-kissed sweetness that defines the vintage, the terroir effortlessly dominating the year."

Burghound
(Domaine Faiveley Musigny Grand Cru Red) "Moderately prominent wood frames strikingly elegant purple fruit, in particular plum, along with a broad array of Asia tea, exotic spice and floral nuances. There is evident refinement to the pure and attractively vibrant medium weight plus flavors that possess superb mid-palate concentration, all wrapped in a firm, balanced and gorgeously lingering finale. A classic Musigny of velvet-wrapped power and grace."  94-97 points
