2023, Domaine Joannès Violot-Guillemard, BEAUNE, 1er Cru, 'Clos des Mouches', Rouge, Vins BIOMedium ruby with violet rim. Rose petals, violet nose. Cool black fruit, with subtle brambly notes. Smoky, spicy, meaty on the palate. A touch of peppery notes there too. Spicy on the long finish with a slight, but pleasant bitter lift. Katharine Maude 11 04 2025. The 2023 Beaune Clos des Mouches 1er Cru has an open, slightly leafy red berry nose with hints of chestnut and tobacco. The palate is medium bodied with grainy tannins; some whole bunch
