The 2022 Santenay Clos des Mouches ler Cru contains around 10% to 15% whole bunches this year. It has a splendid nose, the favorite amongst Moreau's reds with vivid, energetic red berry fruit mixed with wild hedgerow and touches of oyster shell. The medium-bodied palate has smooth tannins, very sensual for a Santenay. It offers pretty red fruit with a dash of white pepper towards the elegant finish. What a beautiful Santenay this is going to be.

David Moreau is perhaps the great discovery of 2014 for me - for now he has taken over part of his grandfather’s domaine in Santenay and has produced wines there since 2009. He has an impeccable winemaking resume having worked on white wines with Olivier Lamy (Domaine Hubert Lamy) and was apprenticed to Domaine de la Romanée Conti where he learnt a thing or two about red wine..He also worked for a short time in New Zealand at Neudorf.

David has made very significant changes in both viticulture and vinification since 2009 all designed to produce the very best wine possible regardless of cost. He has relatively old vines that are mostly pruned by cordon royat to minimise vigour, and the vitculture is raisonné - watch this space
