2017 Joseph Drouhin Beaune Clos des Mouches

Tasting Notes

Clos de la Mouche 2017 is one of the great wines of Burgundy. The deep ruby ​​red color reveals an intense and fresh nose when young. After a few years of aging, the wine with aromas of fresh fruit will evolve towards smoky nuances, liquorice, tobacco, humus, spices and undergrowth. A racy wine that rounds out over time and offers an incredible feeling of fullness and balance.

Color: Golden straw yellow with green highlights Bouquet: Vibrant intensity of green apple and citrus fruit; fresh mineral nuances and white flowers; elegant blonde notes of brioche and fresh nuts

Palate: Fresh white-fleshed fruits (pear, peach, apple) and vibrant citrus fruit brought to life with fine, lively bubbles and a bright finish

Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label looks beautiful: golden-yellow, with a foaming necklace of tiny bubbles. Next it is so pleasing to the nose: initially reminiscent of yellow and white fruits, then of vanilla and later of brioche. Note the fine balance between the fruity aromas coming from the grape varieties and the toasty aromas, the result of the three years of bottle aging. The first sip delivers all the freshness and strength so typical of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label with a symphony of fruit tastes following (pear, lemon).

Negrita is a blended rum which is distilled on the French islands of Reunion, Guadeloupe, and Martinique in the Caribbean. It is made from sugar cane juice, not molasses

Baron D'Arignac is a great companion of the best moments in people's lives. A great, inexpensive alternative to champagne. This sparkler has fine bubbles, a good mousse and crisp, spritzing acidity on the palate. A good aperitif.

Vinous notes and aromas of candied fruit, very lightly roasted
