2017 Beaune Rouge, Clos des Mouches, 1er Cru, Domaine Chanson, Burgundy

Description

This is a charming and delightful example of everything I love about 2017 reds; pale ruby in colour, with a seductive perfume of red berries, rose petals and a dash of pepper. The palate is open and pretty, with juicy and crunchy redcurrant and strawberry fruit, mouth-watering acidity and delicate, silken tannins. The finish has a chalky limestone freshness and a touch of creamy, spicy oak that will integrate further with time, though this it may prove difficult to resist the temptation to enjoy the wonderful balance and charm of this wine now.

Drink 2023 - 2032

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 90/100
Medium deep purple, this has a softer nose than the Marconnets. A gentle mixed red fruit style with a pleasing sweetness, and a little less acidity. The persistence is very good. This will be accessible early and should make friends. Chocolatey notes. Light well drained soil and good air circulation.Jasper Morris MW, InsideBurgundy.com

Another fine Clos des Mouches, this has a less vibrant hue than the 2019 with more development evident in the glass. Dusky, leafy, floral nose with a cool, restrained, autumnal style on the palate. Acidity more evident than the 2019 but the fruit is sweet and all the components make for a fine, balanced Pinot with potential for further ageing.Drink 2023 - 2027andy_howard_mw, Decanter.com (November 2022)

If you never tasted a good red Beaune, then this would be a good place to start, thanks to the fragrant red-fruit and floral nose, then the ripe and suave palate, where the tannins are already so well integrated that almost all you see is the fruit character that dances over them. Long and delicate finish.Drink or holdjames_suckling, jamessuckling_com (February 2019)

This too displays moderate wood and menthol character on the attractively spiced nose where the lilac-inflected fruit profile derives more from the red side of the spectrum. There is a lovely sense of energy to the racy and intense medium weight flavors that reflect fine detail on the lingering finish that is also youthfully austere. This too is quite serious and at least some patience is strongly advised.Drink from 2029 onwardallen_meadows, burghound_com.com (June 2019)
