Joseph Drouhin spent years as one of Burgundy's top negociants and now prefers to be thought of as a top domaine, with Clos des Mouches as the flagship that proves the point. This walled Beaune 1er Cru is a vineyard the family has championed for generations. The 2006 red is now a mature back-vintage bottle, well into its drinking window and showing the savory, earthy complexity that comes with time. There's still a core of red fruit holding things together, but this is about secondary and tertiary nuance now. A classic, food-friendly red Burgundy ready to enjoy. Decant and serve.

"Yellow fruits, pepper and crushed stone on the nose. Very broad and uncompromisingly dry in the mouth, with soil-driven flavors of pineapple and stone and a hint of spicy youthful reduction. Dense but light on its feet-and utterly unevolved. There's just a couple hundred feet of altitude between the bottom and the top of this vineyard but the fruit was picked over a period of a full week. Decant this very backward wine if you plan to open it anytime soon." —Stephen Tanzer

Robert Parker

"The Drouhin 2006 Beaune Clos des Mouches as usual reflects extensive acreage planted largely with old selection massale vines and pampered as a flagship. Stylistically, too, this is another world from that in the glass of this year's Beaune Greves. Here we have thought-provoking complexity of animal and mineral nuances allied to a rather brooding, dark fruit fundament with a bitter herbal edge. There is spice here as well, but of a sharply penetrating and pungent sort, suggesting raw ginger and white pepper. At the same time, this shares with nearly all of the Drouhin wines of its vintage a soothing creaminess allied to an overtly lactic flavor component which I don't find disturbing or discordant, though some might. The contrast of textural allure and pungent attack persists here into a long, satisfying and stimulating finish. I would feel confident making plans for this over at least a 6 year period." —David Schildknecht

"This is rich, opulent Pinot Noir, its ripe strawberry, black cherry and sweet plums brimming out of the glass. The core of tannins, and smoky wood are more serious, offering aging potential. The wine is young, beautifully ripe, mouthfilling and hedonistic." —Roger Voss

More about Joseph Drouhin

One of Burgundy's giants since 1880, Drouhin controls more Grand Cru vineyard than almost anyone else. The house began converting to organic in 1993, achieving biodynamic certification by 1996, and their recent releases hum with freshness that contradicts the family's massive scale. This is Burgundy at its most authoritative.
