Product Description
The Domaine Chanson Beaune Clos des Mouches 1er Cru Rouge 2018 is an exceptional expression of Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most renowned Premier Cru vineyards. With its bright ruby colour, the wine unfolds an intense bouquet of ripe red berries, violets, and subtle spices. The complex palate showcases a perfect balance of vibrant acidity and deep, ripe fruit, with fine tannins that are well-integrated, allowing the purity of the fruit to take center stage. The wine has a fresh and brisk character, thanks to the energy of the 2018 vintage, and a long, spicy finish that leaves a lasting impression. Elegant yet powerful, this wine is a classic example of Beaune’s terroir.
This wine pairs beautifully with red meats, particularly those grilled or in sauces, and is excellent with rich local cheeses like Epoisses, Citeaux, and Langres.
