Domaine Muzard - Bourgogne Red 2024

Grape

Pinot Noir (100%)

Tasting notes

Not every Bourgogne Rouge needs reinventing and the Domaine Lucien Muzard & Fils Bourgogne Rouge 2024 proves the point a fresh, fruit-driven Pinot Noir in a balanced, accessible style that recalls a richer 2021 or a well-balanced 2017.

The nose is delicate and perfumed, built on fresh strawberry, red cherry, and raspberry, with a touch of earthy minerality underneath. The palate is supple and finely structured, bright with red fruit, lively acidity, and fine-grained tannins. It finishes fresh and gently firm, leaving persistent red berries and clean mineral undertones behind.

More About The Winey

With a history dating back to 1645, the Muzard family has cultivated vines in Santenay for nine generations. The estate was formally structured in the 1960s by Lucien Muzard, who expanded holdings through rentals and acquisitions. Today, the domaine is run by Claude and Hervé Muzard, who manage 16 hectares of vineyards across Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet, and Pommard, with around 5% dedicated to white wines.

The domaine balances traditional methods — manual harvests, careful destemming, and oak ageing — with modern precision, including small-crate harvesting, sorting tables, and temperature-controlled fermentations. Ageing takes place in oak barrels, with 30–40% new oak depending on the vintage, bringing both structure and finesse.

The wines of Domaine Lucien Muzard are admired for their authentic expression of Burgundy terroir, from the supple, approachable reds of Santenay to the more structured and age-worthy cuvées from Chassagne and Pommard.
