Tasting notes:

Chanson is one of the major owners of Clos des Mouches with a vineyard of 4.5 hectares. Ideal location on the hill at the southern end of the vineyards of Beaune on a spur pointing toward Pommard. A plot of 2.5 hectares planted on a limestone subsoil covered with clay. Bright ruby colour. Beautiful aromas of red berries (strawberry, cherry, red-currant) mixed with pepper. Complex and well-balanced with an outstanding energy Tight and deep texture. Well-integrated tannins and well-crafted oak note. Long and elegant finish with spicy notes.
