Lucien Muzard & Fils – Clos des Mouches 2018 – Santenay, Premier Cru

The nose is elegant, racy, slightly tight and offers a certain power, a fine grain, deepness as well as a racy minerality. This wine should be decanted. It reveals notes of pulpy wild cassis, fleshy blackberry, small notes of small blue fruits associated with touches of crushed strawberry as well as fine hints of rose, cornflower, lily, pencil lead, nutmeg, discreet hints of cardamom and an imperceptible hint of pepper (in the background). The palate is fruity, elegant, gourmand, beautifully defined and offers a beautiful freshness, a very beautiful precision, matter, a fine unctuosity, a small aerial side, tension (full of finesse), suavity and a fine acidulous frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of creamy blackberry, pulpy/juicy cassis, small notes of bright plum associated with small touches of cherry, sall bright red berries as well as fine hints of violet, lily, zan and sweet spices. A very discreet hint of hazelnut on the persistence. Good length. Tannins are elegant and supple. A beautiful wine synonym of elegance and gourmandize.
