The 2019 Musigny Grand Cru more than met my lofty expectations. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of raspberries and blood orange mingled with floral notes of peonies, rose and violet petals, alongside notions of incense and Indian spices, its full-bodied, deep and seamless, displaying immense concentration and exquisitely refined tannins and concluding with a long, saline, rose-inflected finish. Bize-Leroy describes tasting a glass as "like falling into a well," a description so evocative that it risks making my commentary redundant.

The 2018 Musigny Grand Cru is another monument in the making from Domaine Leroy. Unfurling in the glass a deep bouquet of wild berries, rose petals, spices, blood orange and musk, it's full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with huge reserves of concentration—"il y a du vin," observes Bize-Leroy—and ripe, powdery tannins. Deep and complete, it's unerringly balanced, concluding with a penetrating, perfumed finish. This is not simply built to age, but rather built for eternity; and yet there's nothing austere about this magical Musigny.

One of the wines of the vintage is the 2017 Musigny Grand Cru, a stunning young wine that reveals a bouquet of immense incipient complexity, mingling notes of raspberries and red fruits with suggestions of blood orange, peonies and rose hips. On the palate, this young Musigny is full-bodied, pure and precise, with an enveloping attack, immense depth at the core and exquisite structural elegance. The finish is long, mineral and beautifully defined. This is the most dynamic of all these young reds from Domaine Leroy, and it will reward considerable patience.

The 2016 Musigny Grand Cru is one of the more reticent wines in the cellar, reluctantly unfurling in the glass to reveal a profound bouquet of wild berries, rose petal, blood orange and ineffable savory nuances. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, incredibly deep and multidimensional, with extraordinary density without the weight and incredibly fine-grained tannins—but while this Musigny displays no structural asperity, so much is patently held in reserve that it's hard to read today. With bottle age, it's easy to imagine that this might end up being the finest of the Domaine Leroy's otherworldly 2016s, but over a decade's patience will be required.

The utterly profound 2015 Musigny Grand Cru from Domaine Leroy, the crowning achievement to an extraordinary portfolio and a wine that brought tears to my eyes, wafts from the glass with a deep bouquet of black raspberry, cherry, rose petal and spice. On the palate, the wine is bottomless and multidimensional, with satiny tannins and fruit of crystalline purity, so utterly harmonious and structurally complete as to border on the ineffable—and certainly to exhaust any tired superlatives. The finish is incredibly penetrating and persistent.
