2020 Joseph Drouhin, Beaune Premier Cru, Le Clos des Mouches Rouge 1x750ml

Vinous 94

The 2020 Beaune Clos des Mouches 1er Cru, which comes from deeper soils than the Beaune Greves, has a mixture of red and black fruit and is a touch more expressive with a discrete marine influence. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, very layered with a gentle but insistent grip on the finish. This is one of the finest Clos des Mouches that I have tasted.

One of the highlights of the range is the 2020 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches (Domaine), a nicely balanced cuvee that wafts from the glass with aromas of cassis, raspberries, orange rind, loamy soil and peonies. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and elegant, with ripe tannins, lively acids and a saline finish, it will offer a broad drinking window. [William Kelley, 09/01/2022]
