2007 Joseph Drouhin Beaune Clos des Mouches Blanc

Beaune Clos des Mouches combines complexity and power to form an alluring white wine.

Founded in 1880 by the then 22 year old Joseph
 Drouhin, this famous Burgundy Negociant is still 
family owned. Now in the 4th generation, Maison
 Joseph Drouhin owns extensive parcels throughout 
the region and in Chablis (see Drouhin-Vaudon page).
Continuing the work started by the young Joseph
 Drouhin, the family domaines extending to some 73
hectares have been worked biodynamicaly since 1993.


Beaune Clos des Mouches is an outstanding wine. Pale yellow in colour with complex floral nose of white lilac and white roses. The nose initially exhibits fruit aromas which evolve towards grilled hazelnuts and almonds. With age, the nose develops wonderful notes of white truffle, citron, honey and nutmeg. This wine allies the complexity of a Bâtard Montrachet and the power of a Corton-Charlemagne.
