Drouhin's Clos des Mouches is one of Burgundy's little secrets.

It’s a wine that dramatically overachieves. I’ve been at many dinners where an old bottle of Clos des Mouches has outshined many of the Grand Crus at the table.

The 2015 promises to be a legendary Clos des Mouches. 2015 is one of the great red Burgundy vintages of the past three decades. It's an incredibly complete vintage. There's serious concentration, but with refined tannins and a staggering amount of freshness and elegance for such a ripe vintage.

Expect Mouches' signature aristocratic breeding and diamond cut to be on full display in the 2015.

Clos des Mouches is one of the great gems in Drouhin's stable and a personal favorite of the Crush team. It delivers the force of Beaune with a crystalline elegance and silken, suave texture. It was one of the first sites that Joseph Drouhin bought in the 1920s, situated in a choice mid-slope location - right against Beaune’s border with Pommard. The combination of old vines and limestone soil lends the wine a firm mineral spine and striking finesse.

The 2015 Mouches has a penetrating minerality and remarkable lift and energy. Often the greatness of Mouches comes down to its texture and understated noble flair. The 2015 flaunts these qualities. There's a soaring complexity and driving length.

Drouhin's Clos des Mouches is a special wine with a serious track record for aging. We have every reason to expect this will be an amazing example in the years to come.
