2022 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches, Domaine Violot-Guillemard

2022 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches, Domaine Violot-Guillemard

This is a wonderful site in Beaune, high up on the hill to the south of the town. Joannes cleverly uses the whole-bunch here, and the wine is aromatically spiced with strawberries and ginger. The silky tannins contribute to a sensational length. This is really worth seeking out.

Tasting notes

More crimson than purple. The flavour really builds. Crushed strawberry and racy raspberry, with a build-up of concentration towards the back of the palate. Enough acidity, just the right structure for this wine. Good. Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted: October 2023.
