Beaune Clos de la Mousse Bouchard Pere et Fils 2017 (750ML)

90-92 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2017 Beaune Clos de la Mousse 1er Cru comes from a 3.36-hectare terraced monopole, located on dense red clay, that suffers little dryness and tends to retard maturation of the fruit. This is showing just a little reduction on the nose, yet there is plenty of juicy red berry fruit laced with brown spices here that feels well defined. The poised, focused palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and a caressing, almost Vosne-like finish that is utterly seductive. This comes recommended." 1/19

90-91 Points, James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com: "The nose has a very flamboyant feel (25 per cent whole clusters) with plenty of brambly, darker cherries and spices. The palate has a very pure feel with velvety tannins, carrying red to dark cherries. Drink or hold." 2/19
