Named after the Beehives (Mouches literally translates as flies) which used to sit on the sun-drenched hills of the vineyards in the heart of Burgundy, Clos des Mouches has cemented its reputation as one of three flagship Premier Cru sites in the Cote de Beaune. The wines produced here have serious heritage having represented France in the Judgement of Paris tastings of 1976.
The wine itself is a beautiful deep red ruby colour full of intense and fresh red fruits; Morello cherries, raspberry and blackberries. As it opens up, there are developing smoky notes and a hint of liquorice all balanced with well-structured yet delicate and silky tannins. This is a superb wine which pleasantly lingers long after it's been enjoyed!

Producer Tasting Notes: 'An exceptional wine. Beautiful, deep-red ruby colour, with the bright sheen of great Burgundies. Intense and fresh nose for the young wines. Primary notes of red fruit dominate, such as Morello cherry, raspberry, blackberry. There are hints of complexity with smoky flavours evolving towards liquorice. When the wine is maturing, aromas of pepper, tobacco, humus and undergrowth appear. When drinking the wine, the first impression is always clear-cut and the texture fleshy. The body is firm without being rough, well meshed without being heavy. There is great freshness in the younger wines. With age, the wine gets rounder. It takes on "gras" (velvety texture) and a more precise architecture, supported by silky tannins. It is lively and refined at the same time. There remains a final and most pleasing sensation of harmony, fullness and delicate tannins, as the wine lingers on the palate.'
