Current Vintage: 2022
Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir
Founded in 1880, Maison Joseph Drouhin has spent generations championing the elegance and diversity of Burgundy. Among its most prized holdings is Clos des Mouches, a historic Premier Cru vineyard overlooking Beaune that the family began acquiring in the 1920s. Producing both exceptional red and white Burgundy, this remarkable site has become one of the defining wines of the Drouhin estate.
The vineyard takes its name from the bees (mouches à miel) once kept on its sunny slopes. Its mixture of limestone and clay soils gives Pinot Noir a distinctive combination of perfume, structure and finesse. Farmed biodynamically, Clos des Mouches benefits from Drouhin's meticulous approach in the vineyard and cellar. The warm, sunny 2022 vintage produced beautifully ripe fruit, resulting in a wine with generous concentration while retaining the freshness and elegance that distinguish this celebrated Premier Cru.
Ripe red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry mingle with rose petals, subtle spice and a hint of woodland earth. The palate is wonderfully silky, with layers of succulent fruit, fine-grained tannins and a delicate mineral quality. There's an appealing richness to the 2022, balanced by lively acidity and a long, graceful finish. Beautiful with roast duck, guinea fowl, wild mushrooms or a classic coq au vin. A superb expression of Beaune Premier Cru, offering immediate charm alongside the structure to develop gracefully over the next decade and beyond.
