Description
Henri Germain Meursault Rouge Clos des Mouches 2023 is a refined and comparatively rare expression of Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most admired white-wine villages. Sourced from the prestigious Clos des Mouches site, it combines the precision and elegance associated with Meursault with the charm and depth of red Burgundy.
Tasting Notes
Expect a bright, translucent ruby colour in the glass. The nose is likely to offer lifted aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, and subtle spice, with a discreet earthy note beneath.
On the palate, this should feel elegant and finely structured, with fresh red fruit, silky tannins, and a vibrant line of acidity. The Clos des Mouches terroir typically lends finesse and tension, while the 2023 vintage should bring clarity and energy. With time, it can develop added complexity and nuance over the next 8 to 12 years, depending on storage.
Production
Clos des Mouches is one of Meursault’s most celebrated vineyard sites, known for its well-situated slopes and limestone-rich soils that promote balance, precision, and aromatic lift. The Pinot Noir is harvested by hand, as is customary in top Burgundy vineyards, to ensure the fruit arrives in optimal condition.
Vinification in Burgundy tradition generally aims to preserve purity and site expression, with careful fermentation and ageing in oak to support rather than dominate the wine’s delicate structure. The result is a wine that reflects both the character of the vineyard and the restrained, artisanal style of the producer.
Food & Serving
This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roast poultry, duck breast, quail, mushroom dishes, veal, and softly aged cheeses. Serve slightly cool, ideally around 15–16°C, to keep the fruit and freshness in balance. Decanting is optional but can be helpful for young bottles, especially if you want the aromatics to open more quickly.

The domaine has earned recognition for crafting wines of purity, finesse, and authenticity, with a strong reputation in Meursault and beyond.
