2024 Santenay 1er Cru Clos des Mouches, David Moreau

2024 Santenay 1er Cru Clos des Mouches, David Moreau

Amongst a strong line up of premiers crus in David’s cellar, this is always our favourite. It comes from a parcel with a hard limestone bedrock, producing a wine that is marked by its surprising suppleness. This is the work of a winemaker at the peak of his abilities, coaxing an ephemeral beauty from his Pinot: floral, fresh, and mineral. A definite buy.

Tasting notes

The 2024 Santenay Clos des Mouches 1er Cru has quite a mineral-driven bouquet, tight at first and not as refined as the Beauregard, though it coheres with aeration, just a touch of flint that tinctures the red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy tannins, fine backbone, good acidity though perhaps not quite the same depth on the finish as the Beauregard this year. Still, this is very fine.

(90—92)/100

Not so deep in colour, mid crimson. Some elegance to the nose. Floral topnotes over an attractive raspberry and alpine strawberry fruit. Fine grained tannins offer structure to support the elegance of the fruit. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted Oct 2025.
