Merchant's description

Musigny Joseph Drouhin 1996 is a Grand Cru Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits. This wine comes from the prestigious Musigny vineyard, where the thin, rocky soils produce a Pinot Noir of ethereal aromatic depth and structured finesse. The 1996 vintage provided the piercing acidity necessary to support the wine over three decades, ensuring the palate remains vibrant and focused. It offers a refined texture and a long conclusion of dark raspberry, violet, graphite and crushed stone that reflects the absolute purity of the site and the cool conditions of the year.
