Description

2022 Beaune Rouge, Clos des Mouches, 1er Cru, Joseph Drouhin, BurgundyClos des Mouches sits on the mid slope at the south end of the appellation, next to Pommard. It is picked in several passes as each block ripens. In 2022 this was between 27th August and 5th September. There is 25% whole bunch. This is rich, creamy and spicy, with hedonistic berry fruit and a sophisticated finish of fine, layered tannins.

Always soft

Tasting at Ch

The palate is what I would refer to as “politely austere”

fresh and lively

and the extended savoury finish is well-defined

which has the last word

with the team believing that this creates as much balance and harmony as possible

Our team has surpassed themselves in selecting this cask—it’s one of my all-time favourites

The dosage is seven grams per litre and the finish is powerful

it is quintessentially Margaux with a Pomerol-like richness

It's medium to full-bodied

A firm favorite for the fridge
