This is the 2004, a cold and late vintage that was awkward in youth and has aged into something fresh, savoury and ready to drink.\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🍷 At a Glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eGrape:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Musigny Grand Cru, Chambolle-Musigny\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Côte de Nuits, Burgundy\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2004\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maison Joseph Drouhin, founded in Beaune in 1880 and still family-owned\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eHolding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Around 0.67 hectares of Musigny — about seven barrels in a good year\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eFarming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic viticulture since the late 1980s and biodynamic practices from the 1990s, across the whole estate\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eServing temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15–17°C\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry red wine\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e👃 Tasting Notes \u0026amp; Experience\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium ruby, well into garnet\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red fruit and violet turning toward undergrowth and dried herb\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lively and fresh, lean in build rather than fleshy\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eStructure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tannins that were leafy in youth and have refined considerably with time\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and savoury, with a herbal lift\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n2004 was cold, wet and late, and the reds were not loved early on — a herbaceous, green streak ran through many of them, most often blamed on the ladybugs that came in with the fruit. Two decades later the picture has changed. In a 2022 retrospective, Sarah Marsh MW found the leafy tannins had refined surprisingly and most 2004s were still lively and fresh, with the vintage character receded far enough to let the terroir speak. Her verdict on top premier and grand cru bottles was that this is a good moment to drink them, ideally over a meal, and that the freshness and herbal edge make them unusually good with green-flavoured or tomato-based dishes. She also advised not waiting much longer. Treat this as a bottle for the table now rather than one for the cellar.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e❤️ Why We Love It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n• A Grand Cru parcel of under three-quarters of a hectare, from one of Burgundy's great family houses\u003cbr\u003e\n• Organic and biodynamic farming across 100 hectares, decades before it was fashionable\u003cbr\u003e\n• A vintage that has quietly come good, at the right moment to open it\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🍽️ Food Pairing Ideas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n• Roast poultry and game birds\u003cbr\u003e\n• Tomato-based dishes and green-flavoured vegetarian cooking\u003cbr\u003e\n• Mushrooms, truffle and soft washed-rind cheeses\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e👤 Who This Wine Is For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n✓ Drinkers who want a mature Grand Cru to open now, with food\u003cbr\u003e\n✓ Anyone who enjoys savoury, herb-inflected, lean-framed Burgundy\u003cbr\u003e\n✕ Not a bottle to cellar further, and not for those who dislike a herbal edge\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Joseph Drouhin","offers":[{"title":"750ml \/ 2 bottles","offer_id":48081675518004,"sku":"COL-Drouhin-Musigny-04-2PK","price":2236.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"750ml \/ 1 bottle","offer_id":48081675550772,"sku":"COL-Drouhin-Musigny-04","price":1219.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/1739\/2436\/files\/maison-joseph-drouhin-musigny-grand-cru-2004-clean_75c1b708-c7da-4da2-806d-792e83d4b092.png?v=1787769613","url":"https:\/\/www.inbodega.com\/products\/maison-joseph-drouhin-musigny-grand-cru-2004-burgundy-france","provider":"InBodega","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
