JOSEPH DROUHIN – Clos des Mouches Rouge 2018
Burgundy, France

From the esteemed Maison Joseph Drouhin, Clos des Mouches Rouge 2018 is one of the house’s flagship red Burgundies — an elegant expression of Pinot Noir that combines purity, finesse, and approachable structure.

Tasting notes
Bright ruby in the glass with translucent garnet hues. On the nose, enticing aromas of red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, and floral notes, enriched by subtle hints of earth, sous-bois, and light spice. The palate is silky and balanced, with refined tannins, vibrant acidity, and juicy red fruit driving a long, expressive finish.
