About this Item
In 1880, a 22-year-old Joseph Drouhin settled in Beaune and founded his own wine company. His son Maurice succeeded him and established a domaine for the Drouhin house by buying land in outstanding appellations including the famous Clos des Mouches and Clos de Vougeot. Today, 4th generation Véronique Drouhin continues the family’s prestigious Burgundy legacy. With 73 hectares of biodynamically-farmed vines, Joseph Drouhin is one of Burgundy’s largest estates. With vineyards in close to 90 different appellations, Drouhin offers a fascinating array of Burgundy terroirs.

Critics Ratings
‘The 2002 Beaune Clos des Mouches offers a nose of vanilla, fresh herbs, ginger, and spices. Medium-bodied, fleshy, spicy, and plush, it has excellent to outstanding depth. Sappy minerals dominate this effort’s flavor profile..’ – Pierre Rovani, Wine Advocate (RobertParker.com), 89-90/100 (2004)
