Joseph Drouhin, Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches, 2011
Joseph Drouhin spent years as one of Burgundy's top negociants and now sees itself as a top domaine, and Clos des Mouches is the flagship that backs that up. This walled Beaune 1er Cru has been a Drouhin standard-bearer for generations. The 2011 red has settled into a lovely, approachable phase, more open and giving than the older vintages while still holding plenty in reserve. Expect bright-but-mellowing red fruit edging toward earthy, savory complexity. It's drinking beautifully now with no need to wait. A reliably elegant, classic red Burgundy. Decant and enjoy.
