AVAILABLE TO SHIP IN SEPTEMBER 2024
The wines of Domaine Arcelain are timeless classics. Never brash, they do drink well young; however, hidden within these powerfully subtle wines, there is an immense ability to age and improve.
The vineyards of Domaine Michel Arcelain are all Pinot Noir of the highest quality, known as Pinot Fin. And the jewel in the crown at Arcelain is the Clos des Mouches. One of the greatest of the Beaune premier cru vineyards
Includes 6 Bottle of RED Domaine Michel Arcelain Beaune 1er Cru 'Clos des Mouches' 2021
Even though the best-known Beaune 'Clos des Mouches' (from Domaine Drouhin) is a Chardonnay and sits on a pedestal on the world stage, most Clos des Mouches is red. The best known, and arguably the best parcel of vines on the slopes above Beaune, it can be either white or red. So put Michel Arcelain's perfect Pinot vines in a vineyard of this caliber, and you get something special. Michel comes from the old school. He thinks that women like his Clos des Mouches and men like his Pommard. But be real! What he really means is that his Clos des Mouches is elegant, lacy and fine, fresh and floral, with impeccable balanced intensity. And it is! This is an example of meticulous winemaking in a world-class parcel of vines.
