"This powerful, ripe Pinot Noir is a bold expression of the famed vineyard. Rich in extraction, the fleshy, velveteen sip is packed with black cherry and blueberry flavors accented by charred earth, crushed peppercorn and anise. Fine-grained but furry tannins are approachable young, but this solidly built wine should hit peak from 2024 through 2035 and hold much longer still. Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"In this wine, an initial flash of ripe, black cherry blows off to reveal a gentle note of vanilla. The palate comes in with unexpected freshness. A bright body showcases red rather than black cherry, supported by filigreed tannins and a hint of rounded smokiness that recalls a cured meat. The finish offers a concentrated, fresh and a wonderful blend of smokiness and red fruit. Anne Krebiehl MW"

"Mit 25 Hektar ist das Clos die zweitgrösste Premier-Cru-Lage in Beaune und Drouhin mit 14 Hektar der wichtigste Besitzer. Zu verdanken ist dies Maurice Drouhin, der hier in den 1920er Jahren über 40 Parzellen erwarb und zu einem stolzen Rebbesitz vereinte. 7,5 Hektar sind mit Pinot Noir bestockt. Der noch sehr jugendlich wirkende Rotwein duftet besonders verführerisch nach Kirsche, Eiche und Röstnoten; der Ansatz ist voll, die Entwicklung dicht und samtig."

"Kräftiges Rubin, sehr schöner Glanz. Wow, was für eine Nase, tief, rauchig, sehr duftig, dunkelfruchtige Aromen, Brombeeren, Stroh, ein Hauch Zimt, geröstete Haselnüsse, auch Aprikosen, sehr schöne Komplexität. Am Gaumen vollmundig, sehr kräftig und mit viel satter Frucht beginnend, dann zeigen sich Noten von Cassis, Aprikosenkonfitüre auch ein paar Gümmibärchen schwingen mit, dazu viel rote Johannisbeere, das ist sehr saftig und unglaublich knackig. Der Wein hat eine sehr gute Struktur mit nach wie vor deutlich Gerbstoff, die Säure verleiht hier viel Frische, das ist sehr komplex und trinkanimierend. Im Abgang wunderbar lang. Ein sehr schön gereifter Burgunder, mit Reserven. Jetzt bis 2028, 18.5 vvPunkte, (92/100)"

"This rich, powerful and juicy wine is just bursting out of its wood aging bounds. It has opulent red-berry flavors, a core of firm tannins and intense acidity. Ripe and fruity, this is full of aging potential."

"With a ripe texture, this is developing into a delicious wine. It has richness, allied to the lighter structure of 2007, the acidity and red fruits driving right through the beautifully perfumed wine."
yr. 2008 Wine Enthusiast:
94 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Joseph Drouhin Clos des Mouches" from the vintage 2008 on 01.01.2011 with 94 of 100 points.
"With its famed medieval script label, this is classic wine from Drouhin. This 2008 has all the typical buttery richness while also showing structure, texture and an impressive edge of tension. For aging six years or more."
yr. 2006 Wine Enthusiast:
94 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Joseph Drouhin Clos des Mouches" from the vintage 2006 on 01.01.2009 with 94 of 100 points.
"This is rich, opulent Pinot Noir, its ripe strawberry, black cherry and sweet plums brimming out of the glass. The core of tannins, and smoky wood are more serious, offering aging potential. The wine is young, beautifully ripe, mouthfilling and hedonistic."

94 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Joseph Drouhin Clos des Mouches" from the vintage 2005 on 01.01.2008 with 94 of 100 points.
"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."

93 of 100 Points.

"Drouhin owns more thanof this vineyard, which they've made famous around the globe. Slightly stinky when first poured, this opens into a beautiful glass of Burgundy, delivering black cherries, minerals and exotic spice notes in waves of wonderfully silky fruit. Great length on the finish. Drink now-2015, or beyond, depending on your preferences."

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Joseph Drouhin Clos des Mouches" from the vintage 2001 on 01.01.2003 with 90 of 100 points.
"This is an obvious but delectable white Burgundy. It's smoky and toasty, with upfront oak, yet the wood is amply backed by layers of grilled peaches and citrus. It's ripe and plump and ready to drink now and over the next several years."

86 of 100 Points.
"Andreas Larsson - Tasted" has rated the wine "Joseph Drouhin Clos des Mouches" from the vintage 2009 with 86 of 100 points.
"Slightly closed on the nose, very youthful with freshly crushed red berries and some floral notes; the palate is offering sweet fruit with hints of confiture jam , still shows a good level of freshness and young tannins, some spicy notes of ginger and orange peel, good length - should have fine potential - drink from 2013-2014."

"Corps et parfum classiques de cette cuvée, légèrement vanillés, tout en élégance, sans rien d'appuyé. Peut-être un peu trop lisse pour être vraiment grand."
