Just tasted the 1995 Joseph Drouhin Beaune Clos des Mouches and it is glorious. It is on our wine dinner tonight. Each year at the beginning of the season Leonard raids the cellar and without considering price adds some incredible wines he has cellared for at least 10 years to the wine dinner. We only have one or two bottles left of the selected wines. This Premier Cru Burgundy Blanc provides a nose of honey-suckle with honey and spice and chalk on the long finish. It is an incredible Burgundy – Balanced with plenty of acidity to provide a perfect food pairing. What a thrill to drink this wine. Perfectly cellared this wine has come into its own. A few people were lucky tonight. They may spend a lifetime looking for something similar.
