The name of this wine "Mouches" is the medieval French word for bees. The south east facing slope takes a lot of sun that attracts flowers and bees. Winemaker Marc Cugney uses biodynamic practices and he handpicks the grapes before vinification and aging in oak barrels.
The aromas are delicate, combining citrus and other fresh fruit. It is both mineral and richly rounded on the palate with a long aftertaste. The fineness of the fragrance is unveiled with age which also reveal some elegant tertiary aromas combined with the fruit.
This is a grand wine for grand foods: grilled lobster or langoustines, foie gras, or L'Epoisses cheese.
Burgundy (or Bourgogne in French) is small in size, the Côte d'Or has about 8000 hectares under vine, yet its influence is immense. It is home to some of the best known and most expensive wines in the world. Look in the right places and there is great quality and superb value to be found.
The two major grapes are Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, though you can find small pockets of well-made Aligoté.
One of the world’s most popular grapes, Chardonnay is made in a wide range of styles from lean, sparkling Blanc de Blancs to rich, creamy white wines aged in oak.
Depending on how ripe the grapes get, the flavour ranges from crisp, clean citrus and green apple, to ripe peaches and tropical fruit. Notable Chardonnays can be found in France, California, Australia, England, and beyond.
