Clos des Mouches is a very important site for Drouhin.
This prime mid-slope vineyard was one of the first purchases of Maurice Drouhin when he essentially established domaine bottlings in the 1920s.

Drouhin's Clos des Mouches quickly became an expectation-defying wine beloved by Burgundy insiders. On paper, it's a Beaune 1er Cru and nothing to get excited about. In actuality, Mouches boasts a complexity and longevity that rivals Grand Crus. Burghound’s Allen Meadows has raved about the 1945 and 1949 vintages.
Mouches' sheer complexity and confounding nature make it one of my favorite Burgundies. For white Burgundy, everything points to 2024 being a stunning vintage and sadly one that will be in short supply. 2024 is a vintage of beautiful balance, clarity, and energy. The 2024 Mouches shows the vintage at its best.
Clos des Mouches Blanc is famous for its depth, nuance, and multifaceted complexity, and the 2024 vintage delivers on all counts. Even in the context of Mouches' long and impressive history, the 2024 is really impressive.
