Description

Joseph Drouhin
Beaune Clos des Mouches Rouge
Premier Cru

DESCRIPTION:

• • The Clos des Mouches vineyard takes full advantage of the sun exposure to the southeast.
  • The hand-picked grapes are brought to the winery in small 50-pound crates.
  • The grapes are then pressed and sometimes the stems are kept. An 18 day-fermentation and maceration take place with daily pumping over and punching of the cap.
  • The wine is then put in barrels where it matures, smooths out and loses its acidity.
  • After 15 to 18 months of “elevage” in wood (old and new oak) and frequent tastings, Clos des Mouches is bottled.

GRAPE VARIETY:

• • 100% Pinot Noir

FOOD PAIRINGS:

• • Enjoy with filet mignon, duck and ripe cheeses.

TASTING NOTES:

• • It is distinguished by its elegance and finesse: round, velvety, and beautifully balanced.
  • It has complexity and depth in a soft but very intense sort of way.
  • Aromas are very refined with ripe black cherry, spices, earthy and lightly smoked notes with just the right touch of tannin.
  • This wine can be put away for 10 years or even 20, depending on the vintage; it can also be enjoyed in its youth, with all its glorious fruitiness.
