Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 2022 Beaune 1er Cru Clos de la Mousse offers up aromas of dark berries, baking chocolate and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and fleshy palate that's chunky and youthfully structured, in keeping with this clay-rich soil that reliably produces seriously age-worthy, albeit less polished, wines.

The 2022 Beaune Clos de la Mousse 1er Cru comes from more clayey soils that obviate hydric stress. Very floral on the nose, I appreciate the purity of fruit: lovely red cherries and crushed strawberries, more Pinoté than the Les Teurons. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, quite sweet and a little confit-like but with fine structure towards the finish. It just needs a couple of years to absorb the new oak. Very fine.

Stunning nose of Mara des Bois strawberries! Wonderful balance of ripeness and ample fine tannins with a lively acidity that gives this a long graceful finish. I love the touch of rose there. From 3.3 hectares on a high terrace with clay-rich soil.

What a stunning nose of beautifully ripe raspberries and strawberries, underlined by dry forest-floor and hazelnut-dream character. Beautiful balance of velvety tannins with excellent concentration on the generous and polished palate. Very long, silky finish that pulls you back for more of this beauty. From a 3 hectare plot from a terraced site with deep clay. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
