Domaine Joseph Drouhin Beaune Clos des Mouches 1er Cru Red 2018

132.00 € Tax included

This Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches 2018 is a very beautiful red wine from Burgundy made by Domaine Joseph Drouhin in organic and biodynamic farming. It comes from a 6.75-hectare plot located in the south of the Beaune appellation, adjoining Pommard, mid-hill, gently sloping, oriented east/south-east.

It offers a beautiful deep ruby red colour with fresh and intense aromas of black and red fruits, blackberries, sour cherries and raspberries, with smoky notes, violets and liquorice. On the palate, the attack is frank and fleshy, firm but with a lot of freshness.

The name "Clos des Mouches" comes from the beehives that this enclosure housed and from the bees formerly called "honey flies". It was one of the very first vineyards acquired by Maurice Drouhin in the 1920s, which he managed to build up with about forty different plots. It is planted in red and white, in equal parts. Discover the great Burgundy wines of Domaine Joseph Drouhin currently on sale at La Bouteille Dorée.

This wine can also be ordered individually in a wine gift box, to be found at the bottom of this page and in our selection of Burgundy wine boxes, for example in a Burgundy Prestige wine box.
