This lot contains twelve 37.5cl half bottles of 2020 Clos des Mouches Premier Cru Blanc produced and bottled by Joseph Drouhin. Clos des Mouches is a 'Monopole' vineyard located at the southern end of the Beaune appellation, next to Pommard and is entirely controlled by the Drouhin family. 50% of the vineyard was replanted with Chardonnay in 1921, giving a 50/50 split in production between red and white wines.
'This has all the expected volume of white fruit while retaining impeccable balance. Adds depth with time in the glass, before reaching quite a saline finish. A very youthful but impressive Clos des Mouches. I recently enjoyed a stunning bottle of the 2017, and this could very well match it in due course. Tasted: November 2021. 94-97/100' Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

The Whisky.Auction team has inspected this lot and found it to be suitable for sale. However, please note the absence of a condition statement does not imply that this lot is in perfect condition or free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of ageing. We cannot guarantee that the contents of this bottle will be free from the effects of age, cork taint, oxidation or other faults. Older bottles often contain sediment. Wines are more fragile than spirits and older wines may be listed, at our discretion, for their historical interest rather than their drinkability. We can in no way guarantee that they are still within their plateau of maturity or to the buyer’s taste.
This bottle does not appear to be leaking. While we take every care to pack bottles securely we cannot guarantee that old corks and closures will not leak in transit.
