Beaune Clos des Mouches Blanc Joseph Drouhin 2020 is a distinguished Premier Cru white wine sourced from one of Burgundy’s renowned single-vineyard sites. Located at the southern end of the Beaune appellation, the vineyard enjoys an east/south-east exposure, promoting optimal ripening conditions. This 14-hectare enclosure, half dedicated to Chardonnay, boasts clay and limestone soils that contribute to the wine’s structure and finesse. The Clos des Mouches has historical significance, having been acquired in the 1920s by Maurice Drouhin, marking a pivotal moment in the estate`s history.

Vinous
The 2020 Beaune Clos des Mouches Blanc 1er Cru has a more low-key bouquet than Domaine du Pavillon`s Clos des Mouches, which demands more coaxing from the glass. It unfolds with light peach skin and slightly oily aromas. The palate is well-balanced with a ripe, "sunny" entry, almost viscous in texture that shaves its tension away. There is something almost Alsace Vendange Tardive-like on the finish, which is not meant to be a negative comparison. This is a perplexing showing after a fabulous example tasted a couple of years ago, but it may well be entering a dumb phase and coming out the other side. Drink sooner rather than later. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. Neal Martin9th July 2024
