Drouhin's Clos des Mouches was on my "must buy" list for 2015.

It’s a wine that dramatically overachieves every vintage and I wanted to go deep on it.

When it came down to it, finding 2015 Clos des Mouches Rouge in quantity was a daunting task. I was really excited to land another parcel of the '15 Mouches that I'm happy to offer today.

Drouhin's Clos des Mouches is one of Burgundy's little secrets. 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 has an incredible track record in riper vintages like 1985, 1990 and 2009.

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.

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.

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.
