2011 Beaune Rouge 1er Cru Clos des Mouches, Domaine Chanson
Dark berry fruit is immediately evident on the nose, melding with toasted oak characters and a touch of spice. The palate is rich, with fine, ripe tannins enswathing damson and morello cherry fruit. There is great depth and concentration here, but also immense freshness, with a dart of acidity that gives it a sense of elegance and refinement.
