The Finesse of a Sun-Drenched and Historic Terroir "Clos des Mouches" is one of Santenay’s most renowned "climats." It derives its elegance from light limestone soils, producing wines that are often more refined and floral than the appellation average.
Terroir and Winemaking:
-
Terroir: Well-drained limestone soils, ideally south-facing, allowing for perfect grape ripeness while maintaining vibrant freshness.
-
Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Noir.
-
Winemaking: Hand-harvested followed by strict sorting. Fermentation is gently managed to extract the most delicate aromas.
-
Aging: 14 to 16 months in French oak barrels, with a proportion of new wood adjusted to highlight structure without masking the fruit.
Tasting Notes:
-
Nose: Intense and fragrant, dominated by raspberry, burlat cherry, and a hint of violet.
-
Palate: The attack is velvety. The wine fills the palate with elegance, offering a fine texture and a long finish marked by notes of forest floor and white pepper.
Food Pairings: Ideal with noble poultry (Bresse chicken), pork tenderloin with prunes, or pan-seared sweetbreads. It also pairs beautifully with cheeses such as Brillat-Savarin.
