So much ripe mirabelle with nuances of honeycomb, candied citrus, vanilla bean, licorice and more. Stunning concentration with everything balanced on a pinhead. The underlying structure is enormous, but beautifully integrated in the rich and full body. Bright and pure finish that extends a really long way out. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Every time I drink Clos des Mouches Blanc, I think of Sean Connery, as this was his absolutely favorite wine in the world. He would have loved the stunning 2020 version. The nose wafts from the glass in a refined mix of fresh lemon, pear, a touch of beeswax, a beautiful base of chalky soil tones, acacia blossoms, vanillin oak and that signature Clos des Mouches note of gentle savory elements as a topnote. On the palate the wine is vibrant, ripe and full-bodied, with an excellent girdle of acidity, admirable depth and grip, fine mineral drive and a long, poised and very, very classy finish. Lovely juice.

The 2020 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches Blanc (Domaine) wafts from the glass with aromas of honeyed pears, freshly baked bread, buttery pastry, Meyer lemon and baking spices. Medium to full-bodied, ample and enveloping, its textural attack segues into a fleshy but vibrant core of fruit and a long, saline finish.
