Clos des Brumes Mielle Automnale Élie-Anne

The pour reveals a vary pale golden color. This mead smells lovely, some wood, honey of course, there’s something that reminds me of vanilla and bread. The flavor is also very nice, some lavender, honey, wood, again, vanilla comes to mind and maybe flowers. This is a superb mead, very complex and subtle, it’s all about doing the little things the right way.

A pale gold shining liquid which reveals deliciously fresh petals aromas. A wild prairie of flowers resides into that bottle where the long sojourn into French oak barrels have not managed to impose their brutal character to the not so fragile honey. Really fresh result despite the 6 years since the process began. Almost juicy honey with butter, crackers and lavender notes. A shining example of how subtlety and good disposition of elements that are not necessarily the most complicated, but just fit and enliven together holds as much potential as size and fury. A nice find.
