The 1er Cru Clos des Mouches vineyard in Beaune, with its ideal terroir and rich history, produces some of Burgundy’s most memorable wines. The 2017 vintage from Joseph Drouhin is a testament to the estate’s dedication to crafting wines that express both elegance and complexity. With Pinot Noir at the heart, this wine balances the vibrancy of fruit with the depth and structure that define the region.

The wine opens with fresh red berry aromas—raspberry and cherry—interwoven with subtle floral notes and a whisper of spice. It has a vibrant energy on the palate, with fine tannins and crisp acidity that carry the fruit and add to its freshness. Layers of earthy undertones develop, offering a sense of place and grounding the wine’s more delicate aspects. The finish is long and harmonious, with lingering minerality and spice that echo the complexity of the terroir.

Joseph Drouhin’s Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches Rouge 2017 is a wine that pairs effortlessly with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or a simple cheese platter. It’s a beautiful expression of Pinot Noir that shows the potential for both immediate enjoyment and aging, offering layers of complexity over time. Whether savored now or cellared for further development, it is a true reflection of Beaune’s ability to create wines that are both approachable and age-worthy.

Joseph Drouhin is, of course, one of the great names of Burgundy. A rare producer that makes fantastic wines across the whole range of prices. Their Musigny is one of Burgundy's most sought-after bottles. But their "everyday-priced" wines are some of the greatest values year in and year out. And in between those extremes, they have a whole range of perfectly terroir expressive wines that over-deliver for price, including gems like the legendary Cotes their Beaune Clos des Mouches, offering close to Grand Cru quality at decidedly lower prices.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 92

"The 2017 Beaune Clos des Rouches Rouge 1er Cru, picked September 4–7, contains a little more whole cluster fruit this year – around 30%, according to Véronique Drouhin. Sensual, ripe red cherry, cranberry and subtle bergamot tea aromas gently unfold in the glass. The palate is well balanced with supple tannin, good substance, veins of white pepper and even a very slight flintiness toward a finish that lingers in the mouth. This shows very good potential, although it will benefit from three or four years in bottle." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 93

"The 2017 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches is showing beautifully from bottle, wafting from the glass with an inviting bouquet of ripe red berries, orange rind, warm spices and subtle hints of coniferous forest floor. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, velvety and beautifully harmonious, with the same suave structuring tannins that I identified from barrel, succulent acids and a long, fragrant finish. This is a Clos des Mouches that positively caresses the palate, and it will offer a broad drinking window." -William Kelley

Decanter

D 94

"Is Clos des Mouches better suited to red or white grapes? The answer is both in a vintage like 2017. This was picked in five stages to maximise balance and complexity and made with 25% stems and 30% new wood. It's not a blockbuster wine, prefering to charm rather than overwhelm the palate with elegance, refined tannins and spicy, wild strawberry and red cherry flavours."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 93

"This ripe wine has weight and richness while maintaining balancing freshness. Citrus flavors are already integrated with spice from wood aging to give a full, delicious and ready-to-drink wine." -Roger Voss

Burgundy has long been the world's most famous wine region. But, underneath all the prestige, this region can be hard to get to know.

While Burgundy offers many great trophies from top producers in well-known villages like Vosne Romanee and Puligny Montrachet, it also offers excellent values to anyone willing to explore beyond the famous names. Our collection– one of the largest in the U.S. – has plenty of both!
