Joseph Drouhin Beaune Clos des Mouches Premier Cru 2017

The Drouhin vineyard is at mid-slope, on a mild incline with an east/south-east exposure. It is the largest parcel of the Clos des Mouches (14 hectares - 35 acres), one half planted with chardonnay, the other half with pinot noir. The name "mouches" means flies. There were once bee-hives in this sun-drenched "clos" (vineyard enclosure); the bees in the local dialect were called "mouches à miel" (honey flies), hence the name Clos des Mouches. It is one of the first vineyards acquired by Maurice Drouhin (the founder's son) in the 1920s. With great determination, he bought 41 different parcels from 8 proprietors. It is planted equally in red and white grapes, and both wines have achieved mythical status for the House of Joseph Drouhin.

Tasting Notes: An exceptional wine. Beautiful, deep-red ruby color, with the bright sheen of great Burgundies. Primary notes of red fruit dominate, such as Morello cherry, raspberry, blackberry. There are hints of complexity with smoky flavors evolving towards licorice. The body is firm without being rough, well meshed without being heavy. It is lively and refined at the same time. There remains a final and most pleasing sensation of harmony, fullness, and delicate tannins as the wine lingers on the palate.
