Beaune Clos des Mouches Pinot Noir
1er Cru
2022
Grape Variety : Pinot Noir
Soil : Marl with sandy yellow limestone
Site : 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 is planted with Pinot Noir on a limestone subsoil covered with clay.
The Vintage 2022 : After a winter characterized by marked variations in temperature between January and February, spring started with mild temperatures. A sequence of cold weather in April was followed by warm temperatures in May but the lack of water was very noticeable and could not be compensated by the rainy storms of June. Summer was marked by several and long heat waves and the storms of the end of August were most welcome. The harvest at Chanson started on August 30 with a team of 100 persons and ended on September 13. 2022 vintage was quite generous both in volume and quality and the red wines are generous and well-balanced with an outstanding crunchy fruit.
Tasting : Bright ruby color. Floral fragrances (roses) mixed with intense aromas of red berries (strawberry, cherry, redcurrant) and pepper on a delicate oak note. Complex and well-balanced with an outstanding energy. Tight and deep texture. Elegant tannins and well-crafted oak. Long and refined finish with spicy notes. Scores : 93/100 Jasper Morris/Inside Burgundy - 17/20 Jancis Robinson
Food pairing : Can be enjoyed with game, red meat, grilled or "en sauce" and our local cheeses like Epoisses, Citeaux and Langres.
