Beaune Clos des Mouches Rouge Joseph Drouhin 2020 (1.5L)

92-94 Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "One of the highlights of the range is the 2020 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches (Domaine), a nicely balanced cuvée that wafts from the glass with aromas of cassis, raspberries, orange rind, loamy soil and peonies. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and elegant, with ripe tannins, lively acids and a saline finish, it will offer a broad drinking window." 01/22

97 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "This is exactly what Burgundy and pinot-noir freaks around Planet Wine are looking for. Enveloping nose of red and black raspberries that's really hard to resist. So concentrated, suave and sophisticated on the rich but very precisely balanced palate. Extremely long and silky finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold." 08/22

91-94 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound: "A slightly earthier nose reflects ripe and beautifully layered aromas of black cherry, cassis and a plethora of floral nuances, especially violet. The round, delicious and almost tender medium-bodied flavors possess a highly seductive texture before culminating in a youthfully austere, beautifully balanced and hugely long finale. This too could use better depth, but the aging track record of this wine is so good that more will almost certainly develop." 04/22

90-93 Points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy: "Deep mid purple. Ripe cherry here, maximum ripeness for my palate but thoroughly enjoyable, some delicacy thereafter, tannins are fine-grained, enough acidity, and very good length. Very successful in a riper style." 11/21
