Clos de la Mousse 2008 - Bouchard Father & Son - Beaune 1er cru

The oldest trace of Clos de la Mousse dates back to 1220, when it was bequeathed to the church of Notre Dame de Beaune by Canon Edme de Saudon. During the Revolution, this beautiful vineyard was divided. In the 19th century, the Bouchard family bought several vineyards of this delicate vintage to obtain exclusivity.

The 3.36 hectares of Clos de la Mousse were united on April 13, 1872 with the acquisition by Antonin Bouchard of the last vineyard of "20 ares 28 centiares" This Premier Cru has since then been the monopoly of Bouchard Père et Fils. The surrounding wall is still visible today.

Fruit aromas combined with light toasted notes. Both fleshy and refined, the Clos de la Mousse reveals its charms with delicacy. Good aging potential of more than 20 years
