Joseph Drouhin Beaune Clos des Mouches Rouge 2021: The Burgundy Gem

The Vibe

Imagine uncorking a bottle that whispers tales of history, passion, and terroir the moment the cork pops. Sipping Joseph Drouhin Beaune Clos des Mouches Rouge 2021 is like stepping into a sun-drenched vineyard, just after a summer rain has kissed the earth. It’s the kind of wine you’d want to share with that friend who’s been everywhere and tasted everything but is still surprised by the little delights.

Tastes Like

• A velvet crush of raspberries and strawberries, fresh from the sun.
• A sophisticated dance of spices — think white pepper twirling with violet on a forest floor.
• Layers of earthy whispers, lingering like a well-preserved secret.

Pairs With

• An evening that starts with roast duck and wanders into unplanned adventures.
• Cooking mushroom risotto with someone who’s not afraid to get a little wine in the dish — or their glass.
• A playlist as moody and complex as this Beaune beauty — Radiohead meets French jazz.

From

This wine hails from the storied Clos des Mouches vineyard, a patch of earth that’s as revered as the wine it produces. Nestled just south-west of Beaune, it’s an epicenter for Pinot Noir, where limestone and clay soils work magic under the Bann’s ambient chill and sun-drenched embrace. Managed by the Drouhin family for generations, these vines speak of legacy, vision, and a little bit of Burgundy’s own magic.
