2012 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches, Domaine Chanson
Clos de Mouches is a large, warm and sunny vineyard at the end of the Beaune appellation nearest to Pommard. Chanson hold 4½ hectares here, half of which is planted with Chardonnay. Intense and concentrated on the nose and palate, with notes of citrus alongside more creamy stone fruit characters. Opulent and expressive, but balanced by a lovely wet stone minerality that carries through the fresh, clean finish.
