2015 Santenay 1er Cru Clos des Mouches

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.
