Tasting notes
A powerful, intense wine, the 2015 Santenay Clos des Mouches brings together power, tension and energy. Beams of supporting acidity extend the fruit beautifully in this super-expressive, nuanced Burgundy. Hints of white pepper, orange zest and cranberry add an attractive upper register. This is a absolutely gorgeous wine from David Moreau.

Ripe and super-fruity. Fine and firm. Classy with very good balance though dry on the end at the moment. (JR)
The 2015 Santenay 1er Cru Clos des Mouches (Rouge) contains 5-10% whole bunch fruit. It has a mellow bouquet compared to the Clos Rousseau at the moment, bashful at first but unfolding in the glass and eventually offering black cherries and red plum aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with a rounded opening. This is much more expressive in the mouth, offering layers of black and red fruit with a hint of salted licorice on the long aftertaste.
