Maison Drouhin's flagship wine, the Beaune Clos des Mouches was particularly successful in the 1998 vintage. Its spice, stone, and honeysuckle aromas are followed by a character of outstanding flavor intensity. Dried honey and lemon drop candies dominate the personality of this expansive, well-balanced, and extremely persistent wine. Anticipated maturity: now-2007.
