Critics Ratings

“Tasted from bottle, the 2017 Beaune 1er Cru Clos de la Mousse reveals a generous bouquet of smoky dark fruit, rich soil tones and baking chocolate, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and gourmand palate, framed by ripe acids and rich but melting structuring tannins. From barrel, I characterized this wine as 'open-knit and precocious,' and that verdict holds true from bottle.” - William Kelley, Wine Advocate (Apr 2019)

“Fragrant cherry and redcurrant fruit – easy and generous and rich, with well-managed oak smokiness on the palate and length. Very nicely done.” - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Jan 2019)

“Ripe, juicy and packed with cherry fruits, this is a generous wine. It also has potential with its dense tannins and dry core. The wine needs time, so drink from 2023.” - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 91/100 (Dec 2019)
