It was not the presence of flies ("mouches") but of bees and beehives in this area located south of Beaune, overlooking Pommard, that gave the vineyard its name. "Clos des Mouches" is one of Burgundy’s gems and is certainly in the same league as a Grand Cru. Indeed, its location on the slope gives this wine a great deal of precision and purity.
The notes of white flowers, honey and beeswax are telling signs of a high-caliber wine. The palate is racy and chiseled with incomparable length. Honor this wine by savoring it alone to appreciate its full range of aromas and flavors. You may also enjoy it with fish or white meats cooked in cream.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
An opulent style, this delivers tangy apple, butterscotch and toasted spice flavors backed by a spine of acidity. It's harmonious, with the butterscotch element lingering.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
Better known for its red wines, this premier cru vineyard also has a plot of Chardonnay. Ripe with yellow fruits and toastiness, this wine has a full-bodied character, juggling crisp acidity with generous fruitiness and texture.
