Tasting note
An outstanding white Burgundy, remarkably complex and elegant, fragrant with white lilac, white rose and grilled hazelnut, the mouth a marvel of white truffle, lemon, honey and nutmeg.
Viticulture
At Beaune’s southern end by Pommard, Drouhin’s mid-slope, east/southeast-facing Clos des Mouches parcel spans 14 ha, split equally between Chardonnay and Pinot Noir on clay-limestone and marl soils. Named after “honey flies” from old beehives, it was acquired in the 1920s and now yields wines of legendary finesse.
Vinification
Harvested by hand in small crates to preserve the fruit, grapes are double-sorted once in the vineyard, once at the winery. A slow press excludes the final juice. After settling, the wine ages 12–15 months in barrels, 25% new oak, to ensure finesse and purity.
Food Match
Shellfish, seafood, salads are all well matched with this complex and elegant wine.
