Winemaker Notes
The 2019 Joseph Drouhin Clos des Mouches Rouge 1er Cru is a concentrated yet graceful Pinot Noir. It offers a bouquet of Morello cherry, raspberry, blackberry, peonies, and orange rind, complemented by subtle spicy oak. The palate is voluptuous and balanced with silky, well-integrated tannins and a long finish.
About Winery
Maison Joseph Drouhin was founded in 1880 in Beaune, Burgundy, by Joseph Drouhin, and has since grown into one of the region’s most respected wine producers. Over the generations, the family expanded its holdings to include vineyards across Burgundy—such as Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Côte Chalonnaise—and later established Domaine Drouhin Oregon in the Willamette Valley. Today, the estate remains family-run by Joseph’s great-grandchildren, who continue the tradition of producing elegant wines with a focus on terroir and sustainable practices, including organic certification for their Burgundy vineyards since 2009
