Domaine Chanson Beaune Clos de Mouches Blanc 2021 (91 WS)
“A rich, viscous white marked by lemon candy and ripe peach flavors. Well-defined, courtesy of vivid acidity, with a long finish, revealing an aftertaste of butterscotch and stony minerality.”- B.S 8/23

Beaune 1er Cru
Clos des Mouches is one of Beaune's most celebrated Premier Cru climats, and Domaine Chanson is among its most significant owners, with 4.3 hectares across the site. The name itself is a point of intrigue: "mouches" refers not to flies but to bees, a nod to the hives once kept here by the monks who first cultivated the land. The Blanc occupies 2.2 hectares on the upper part of the hill, where the east-facing slope catches the morning sun and the limestone subsoil covered with sand drives a wine of real precision and freshness.
