  (Drouhin Joseph Beaune Clos des Mouches) In this case the 'mouches' are bees, not flies! This, the best known of Drouhin's vineyards was purchased about 1918, today it is run on a biodynamic basis. The colour is similar to the Côte de Beaune. Again, reserved on the nose, a little toasty perhaps - though Drouhin don't char their barrels. Very good acidity and much finer tannins than the last wine. The black cherry fruit is intense, lasting well in the finish. A very good wine, again will benefit from some time in the cellar.

  (Joseph Drouhin Beaune 1er Cru "Clos de Mouches" Rouge) Such a supple wine. This is what the Brits mean when they say a wine has charm. Very supple and rich on the palate with cherry skins and raspberies. Rich and expressive with great inner-mouth action and sappines. Very drinkable today.
