Joseph Drouhin Beaune Clos Des Mouches 1er Cru Blanc 2018 75cl

Joseph Drouhin Beaune Clos des Mouches 1er Cru Blanc 2018 is a wine that has gained almost mythical status for this Domaine. It has flamboyant aromatics that unfurl layer after layer over time. Combining power with finesse, the palate is rich, and round, but never heavy or flat. The 2018 is a vintage that is already capable of delivering immense pleasure, and yet has the potential to be cellared for at least a decade,  where it will likely develop a more complex and intense aroma profile of truffle, toast and honey.

Clos des Mouches is named after the local term for bees, mouches à miel, that were often seen in this sun-drenched walled-vineyard. It has been cultivated biodynamically since the 1990s.
