Description
The name of this plot refers to the thousands of pollinating bees that frequent the area (mouches à miel). David Moreau is working to elevate the wines coming from his family’s historic vineyard sites. The name of this particular plot refers to the thousands of pollinating bees that frequent the area (mouches à miel).
The fruit for this premier cru are sourced from a small .9 ha plot that is south-facing. The grapes are de-stemmed, gravity-transferred to tank, and experience a 6 day cold maceration. The yeasts used to inoculate the fruit are indigenious to the area. After the full 20 day maceration, the wine is kept in barrel (25% of which is new) for 17 months. Silky tannins mingle with delicate red berry and violet flavours. This terroir yields wines of exceptional depth and considerable minerality, due to limestone bedrock. A brambly wildness and rustic fruit character make this wine the perfect accompaniment to almost any meal.
