Bouchard Pere & Fils, Beaune 1er Cru Clos de la Mousse Monopole Domaine 2011

"An exceptionally pretty and perfumed nose of both red and dark pinot fruit, earth and spice hints precedes attractively rich, silky and delicious flavors that possess a lilting mouth feel on the long, focused and balanced finish. There is good phenolic maturity and ample dry extract and I would say that this is the best Clos de la Mousse since the outstanding 2003 version."- Allen Meadows

"Enticing aromas of redcurrant, raspberry, minerals and spices. Sweet, supple and fine-grained, with red berry fruit complicated by notes of leather, tobacco and underbrush. A lively midweight with a touch of herbs on the smooth finish. Grew muskier as it opened in the glass, but in a good way." – Vinous
