This should not be confused with the Beaune Premier Cru of the same name. Meursault’s Clos des Mouches is a tiny monopole belonging to Henri Germain and devoted to Pinot Noir. It could be labelled as Volnay, as most reds from Meursault are, but Germain chooses to call a Meursault a Meursault. The half-hectare site lies near the Volnay border, due south of Les Santenots. The old Pinot Fin vines (planted in 1949) produce very low yields—under 25 hl/ha in a good year. It’s one of Meursault's few remaining walled vineyards, and the wine is always red-fruited, perfumed and pretty. The 2021 delivers that in spades.

Reviews

“A smoother softer red fruit than the Chassagne, on the nose, with a colour which has a purple shade to the crimson. Stays fresh, treads lightly and is quite delicious – well worth seeking out for a lighter lunchtime Burgundy.”
89-91 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
“The 2021 Meursault Clos des Mouches Rouge is another red that's unusually supple and giving this year. Delivering notes of sweet red berries, orange rind and spices, it's medium-bodied, fleshy and melting, with lively acids and a saline finish.”
88-89 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
