WINE DESCRIPTION

This Beaune 1er Cru from Joseph Drouhin is a bold and beautiful example of Burgundy Pinot Noir. The nose is intense, with aromas of ripe red fruits, spices, and a hint of earthiness. On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, with silky tannins, juicy acidity, and a long, complex finish. The flavors of dark cherries, blackberry, baking spices, and toasty oak linger on the palate. This is an excellent expression of the Clos des Mouches terroir, and a great choice for pairing with steak, duck, or rich mushroom dishes.
