Drouhin's Clos des Mouches quickly became an expectation-defying wine beloved by Burgundy insiders.

Jouan's wines are all about subtlety and a mysterious quiet depth. The Clos Sorbé captures this signature with heartbreaking beauty.
We recently tasted Simone's 2018 and it simply wowed us. This is a vintage with class to spare. While the incredibly well calibrated harmony of the 2018 makes us excited to watch the wine evolve for the next couple of decades, it's also a bottle that's really enjoyable to drink today.
It can be an absolutely thrilling bottle. We've tasted numerous bottles with a decade of age that have been stunning.

It stands out for its combination of presence and length with exacting focus, lift, and finesse.
