Description

Clos des Mouches sits on the mid-slope at the south end of the appellation, next to Pommard. It is picked in several passes as each block ripens. In 2022 this was between 27th August and 5th September. There is 25% whole-bunch. This is rich, creamy and spicy, with hedonistic berry fruit and a sophisticated finish of fine, layered tannins.

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW
91-93/100
A pure mid purple, vibrant red fruit energy, dark raspberry. There is a sensuality to this and a fine tensile strength, darker fruit, well integrated oak, and persistent.

Drink 2029-2035

About The Wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating and, at times, infuriating wine grape in the world. However, when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape, which grows in small, tight bunches, performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone-based subsoils. It is more susceptible than other varieties to overcropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive, and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of Burgundy's Côte d'Or.
