The 2020 Beaune Clos des Mouches 1er Cru which comes from deeper soils than the Beaune Grèves has a mixture of red and black fruit and is a touch more expressive with a discrete marine influence. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit very layered with a gentle but insistent grip on the finish. This is one of the finest Clos des Mouches that I have tasted. (Drink between 2025-2045)
This elegant version is packed with ripe black cherry plum sandalwood cedar and spice flavors. Its beam of acidity keeps everything focused as mineral and leafy vegetal notes emerge. Shows fine balance with a lingering aftertaste of fruit licorice and spice. Best from 2025 through 2042. ?B.S.
One of the highlights of the range is the 2020 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches (Domaine) a nicely balanced cuvée that wafts from the glass with aromas of cassis raspberries orange rind loamy soil and peonies. Medium to full-bodied velvety and elegant with ripe tannins lively acids and a saline finish it will offer a broad drinking window.
