The 2022 Joseph Drouhin Beaune Clos des Mouches Rouge is an elegant Premier Cru Pinot Noir from one of Beaune's most celebrated vineyards in Burgundy, France. Produced by Maison Joseph Drouhin, this renowned site delivers a refined expression of Pinot Noir, offering fragrant aromas of ripe cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry, layered with delicate floral notes, subtle spice, forest floor and a touch of fine oak.
On the palate, it is silky and medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and finely woven tannins that provide precision and balance. Flavours of red berries, cranberry and cherry are complemented by savoury earth, gentle spice and mineral nuance, leading to a long, graceful finish with impressive purity and finesse. While already expressive, the wine has the structure to evolve beautifully with careful cellaring over the next 10–15 years.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Burgundy for customers who appreciate elegant, site-driven Pinot Noir with complexity and ageing potential. Enjoy with roast duck, herb-crusted lamb, mushroom risotto or roasted quail. Best served slightly below room temperature after a short decant, with excellent drinking now or over the next 10–15 years.
