Tasting notes
Revisited from bottle, the 2019 Beaune 1er Cru Clos de la Mousse is performing brilliantly, bursting with aromas of sweet berry fruit, warm spices and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, sumptuous and enveloping, with melting tannins and an ample core of fruit, it's seamless and charming, concluding with a long, expansive finish. This is as fine a young Clos de la Mousse as I've ever tasted.

A powerful, concentrated and well-structured red Beaune thatâs got plenty of healthy tannins and deep red-fruit character (very ripe strawberry!) Then comes the surprisingly playful and lively finish that pulls you back for more. Drink or hold.
This shows spice, earth and rust character with some chocolate. Itâs medium-bodied with roundness and freshness. Yet, thereâs decadence and meatiness at the end. Drink in 2024.
The 2019 Beaune 1er Cru Clos de la Mousse exhibits attractive aromas of cherries, plums, smoked meats and rich soil tones, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and lively palate that's deep and savory, framed by powdery tannins and bright acids. It's a promising cuvée in the making.
