DROUHIN COTE DE BEAUNE BLANC (DEC CLOS DES MOUCHES)

This interesting and unusual wine comes from the estate of Joseph Drouhin on the Côte de Beaune (the slope above Beaune) and some declassified wine from the young vines of the famous Clos des Mouches vineyard. It features a balanced flavor profile with notes of citrus, white flowers, and a subtle minerality, underpinned by a creamy texture from oak aging. A truly delicious and harmonious wine. Pale gold colour, very bright. The aromas bring to mind honey, almond and lemongrass (citronella). As the wine matures, intense flavours of grilled hazelnut and almonds are in evidence.
