Domaine Berthelemot Beaune Premier Cru ‘Clos des Mouches’ Blanc 2016, 75cl

From a 0.34 hectare parcel of Beaune 1er Cru Chardonnay vines planted in clay/limestone soils in 1986, lying at an altitude of between 250 and 270 metres above sea level.

The Domaine use biodynamic practices and grapes were hand harvested before being vinified and aged in oak barrels.

Delicate aromas combining citrus and other fresh fruit; it is both mineral and richly rounded on the palate with a long aftertaste. The fineness of the fragrance is unveiled when aging with some elegant tertiary aromas combining with the fruit

A grand wine for grand foods: grilled lobster or langoustines, foie gras, or L'Epoisses cheese.
