The 2018 White Beaune Premier Cru Clos des Mouches is expressive and layered, with notes of white flowers, anise, vanilla, and delicate pastry. These aromas shine even more after decanting or serving in a wide glass. On the palate, it captures the richness of the vintage, offering a smooth and rounded texture balanced by refreshing acidity. The oak influence is subtle, allowing the wine to finish with finesse and a touch of lively bitterness that enhances its length. A true reflection of this renowned vineyard.
