Tasting notes
The 2019 Beaune 1er Cru Clos Des Mouches showed beautifully, with a medium-bodied, clean, crisp style that builds nicely with time in the glass. More red-fruited, with plenty of spice and floral nuances, it has sappy, grippy tannins, nicely integrated acidity, and an outstanding finish. A beautiful Beaune, it will benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and drink nicely over the following decade.

Although this white 1er Cru Beaune has plenty of ripeness and creaminess, it also has bright lemon-curd character and pronounced chalky minerality that gives a wonderful, fine-grained texture. Long and very straight finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
Cask sample. More transparent garnet colour. A bit more muted on the nose than the Grèves. But with lots of dusty sweet fruit to get your teeth into. Broad and satisfying with (just) enough freshness. Quite long and well balanced with a bit of vitality. (JR)
