Joseph Drouhin Beaune Clos des Mouches 1er Cru 2016

.A deeply complex release from Drouhin, the Beaune Clos des Mouches offers up  wonderful hazelnut and almond aromas framed with floral white rose and pure, mineral fruit. The palate is beautifully weighted with a luxurious texture, more nuttiness sits on a creamy bed of honeyed fruit, though it remains mineral, clean and lively throughout, never out of balance or too heavy and clawing. The finish is profound, very long with an brilliant encore of flavour. Such a magnificent wine and one that will stand the test of time, hold or drink, both will be hugely rewarding.
