Joseph Drouhin 2008 Clos des Mouches Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Beaune)
- $89
The aromas of smoky new wood follow through to the wood flavors on the palate. However, it’s the powerful sweet black cherry and red berry fruit flavors, layered with fruit tannins and acidity, that are driving this impressive wine. For aging at least six years.

- Cellar Selection

Joseph Drouhin 2005 Clos des Mouches Pinot Noir (Beaune)
- Cellar Selection
- $89
The oldest property owned by the Drouhin family has produced a wine that is initially withdrawn, showing its herbal, earthy character, before releasing an explosion of sweet berries, spice and irresistible freshness and acidity. The aftertaste is firm, and the fruit is very much in place.

Bouchard Pere & Fils 2005 Beaune du Château Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Beaune)
- Cellar Selection
- $42
From Bouchard’s home vineyard, this is one of their signature wines. In 2005, it has produced a luscious, fruity wine whose richness is only a part of its wonderful floating character. The ripeness of the wine is matched by its structure, which promises considerable aging.

Albert Morot 2006 Toussaints Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Beaune)
- Cellar Selection
- $75
Very mineral and structured, this is a wine that needs aging. The tannins at this stage are firm, dry, dense, forming a solid core. Around this floats the red cherry and red currant fruit flavors, just sweet and lifted by acidity, Give it at least five years.

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.

A complete wine that speaks of both richness and terroir. While the tannins are certainly there, they are dominated by rich black fruits, ripeness, power and concentration. It is the sort of wine that reveals many layers of flavor and complexity. Age for five years.
