Joseph Drouhin 2007 Clos des Mouches Premier Cru Chardonnay (Beaune)
- Cellar Selection
- $80
Still young, of course, but already the wine is showing great fruits, smoothed by wood, offering style and sophistication. As it opens up, the flavors of pears and sweet apples join the toast and the ripeness. This is on the path to greatness; give it 5–6 years and more.
