Presentation of the cuvée:

Clos Vougeot 'Musigni' (and not Musigny) is a rare and prestigious cuvée from the Gros Frère et Soeur estate. This is a red wine from the exceptional terroir of the Côte de Nuits, more precisely from Clos Vougeot, a grand cru located in Vougeot. The 'Musigni' cuvée comes from old vines, which gives it remarkable aromatic complexity and depth.

Presentation of the 2008 vintage:

The 2008 vintage was marked by an early spring and rapid flowering, followed by a hot, dry summer. The harvest started early and made it possible to harvest grapes at optimum maturity. Clos Vougeot 'Musigni' 2008 is characterized by a beautiful structure, aromas of black fruits and spices, as well as a persistent finish.

Food and wine :

Clos Vougeot 'Musigni' 2008 is a wine that goes perfectly with red meats, game and aged cheeses.

Serving Tips:

The 2008 Burgundians are often quite "closed". The wines indeed offer a stricter style than those of solar vintages like 2005 or 2009. It is therefore recommended to decant this bottle at least one hour before tasting it to allow the wine to breathe and release all its aromas.
