  Richer nose then I expected. Medium bodied on the palate as well, and there's a yellow/green apple mixture going on here. Quite clean on the finish. Almost juicy. Very good. 89-90

• 2008 Joseph Drouhin Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches Blanc 94 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru

  I always seem to love this wine, and this vintage is no exception. The richness really comes out, with lots of spices, yellow apples. Really dense and complex, but it never weighs heavy. Great stuff. 93-95

Not at the same level as the whites, but these wines were all very pure and clean.
