Tasting notes
The 2015 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches consists of three barrels this year, compared to just one in previous years due to hail. It is 100% de-stemmed. It has an attractive bouquet with macerated red cherries with crushed strawberry and kirsch aromas. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity and impressive depth. There is a subtle, almost biscuit-like tincture towards the finish with a slightly savory finish.

Healthy bright red. Nuanced nose offers scents of raspberry, black and red cherry, minerals and menthol; this was totally detemmed but still shows considerable floral complexity. Very concentrated, sharply delineated dark fruit and spice flavors are lifted by a violet element. Quite backward and gripping in the context of the vintage, finishing with serious tannins and rising length. Seriously good juice.
