Vinification of the Musigny Grand Cru by Joseph Drouhin The quality of the Musigny Grand Cru by Joseph Drouhin begins in the vineyard with the careful selection of grapes. The vines thrive in one of the most renowned Grand Cru sites in Burgundy. The limestone-rich soils provide ideal conditions for the Pinot Noir grape, which is cultivated here with great care. The microclimate ensures optimal ripening of the grapes. Harvesting is done exclusively by hand to collect the berries intact and ensure the highest quality grapes. The vinification follows traditional methods that combine modern expertise and experience: The grapes are gently destemmed and lightly crushed after harvest to release the high-quality pigments and aromas. The spontaneous fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with the must regularly punched down to allow the color, tannins, and aromas to develop deeply. After alcoholic fermentation, malolactic conversion follows, giving the wine its silky texture and harmonizing the acidity. The maturation takes place over 18 to 24 months in barrels made from fine French Allier oak. About 40% new barrels contribute finesse and a delicate vanilla note without overpowering the pure fruit character. The final bottle aging rounds out the harmony and imparts the wine's characteristic elegance before it finds its way into your cellar.
