94Wine Enthusiast

This rich, powerful and juicy wine is just bursting out if its wood aging bounds

92Wine Spectator

Reductive aromas of smoke and earth give way to bright cherry and spice flavors in this red, with lovely texture. Though not powerful, there's a density and texture to the tannins that bodes well for the future.

91-93The Wine Advocate

...a gorgeous wine endowed with considerable depth and richness. Suave tannins provide the backdrop for the fruit in this layered Clos des Mouches.

91-93Stephen Tanzer

Creamy and silky in the mouth, but given shape and lift by lovely vinosity...The suave tannins are nicely buffered by fruit. This round, rather full wine has the balance and stuffing to support a slow evolution in bottle.

91Burghound.com

There is good volume to the lush, round and intense medium-bodied flavors that possess a moderately firm tannic spine as well as excellent depth and length.

17Jancis Robinson

Lip-smacking, satisfying nose. Intense nose with quite a tough end. Just a hint of beetroot. Dry finish. Needs time.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Beaune, Le Clos Des Mouches

Le Clos de Mouches is a 62-acre Premier Cru vineyard in Beaune, in Burgundy’s Cote d’Or. Though Beaune has no Grand Crus, it has 44 vineyards that are either entirely or partly Premier Cru. Le Clos de Mouches is located in the southern third of the appellation, and like many of its neighbors, it faces nearly due east.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
