The vine

  • Plot /climat

    Clos des Mouches (total surface area 25ha 18a).

  • History

    In medieval French, « les mouches » meant bees. The south east facing slope takes a lot of sun that attract flowers and bees.

  • Soil

    Clay and limestone, stony and well drained.

  • Our plot(s)

    58a35ca and 15a03ca planted in 1958, 1968 and 1986 at an altitude of 250/300m.

The wine

  • Description

    100% Pinot Noir from handpicked grapes; raised in oak casks.

  • Taste

    The grapes from the two different altitudes balance to give a round and elegant wine with an aroma of ripe red berries, full-bodied and velvety on the palate.

  • Serving temperature

    15/16°C. It is recommended to decant recent vintages so as to enhance the aroma.

The vintage

  • March was sunny and budburst happened too early. 5th of April frost made big damages in Puligny. Flowering occurred lately, with wind and rain, many flower aborted, confirming a low yield vintage. Fortunately, summer was hot and dry, enhancing maturation and sugar concentration by the end of summer. Harvest started 13th of September. White wines are generous and fruit driven, but high acidity gives a good concentration and length. Red wines benefited from the hot summer with a complex bouquet and round tanins.
