Domaine Nicolas Rossignol - Beaune 1er Cru 'Clos des Mouches' 2017 (750ml) MuscatThe 2017 Beaune Clos des Mouches 1er Cru, which is 100% de stemmed, does not have quite the same complexity as the Les Reverses. Scents of dark plum and iodine emerge with time. The medium bodied palate shows a grainy texture, very good depth and chalky tannin on the minerally finish. Fine, but not as charming or as engaging as the Les Reverses.
