Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches

Learn More About This Wine

Beaune is the historic capital of Burgundy wines, and its town centre has been the site of the headquarters of the House of Albert Bichot for over a century. 

In the beginning, it was not flies (“mouches”) but bees and their hives in the climate south of Beaune overlooking Pommard that gave it its name. “Clos des Mouches” is one of Burgundy’s gems and certainly at the level of a Grand Cru wine. The plot is located on a slope in the upper part of the walled vineyard at an altitude of approximately 300m. Its south-southeastern exposure ensures that the vines receive an optimal amount of sunshine and results in wines that feature precision and purity. 

Intense, extremely subtle nose that combines notes of white flowers, honey, and toast along with a whisper of minerality. The palate is full bodied and classy. This exceptional wine is endowed with remarkable length.
