2020 Beaune Blanc, Clos des Mouches, 1er Cru, Joseph Drouhin, Burgundy

Description

The red may be more famous, but Drouhin’s 13 hectares are split almost evenly between Chardonnay and Pinot. The fruit is as exuberant and exotic as ever, with an explosion of apricot, pineapple and melon supported by toasty oak. The palate is rich and generous, with tangy freshness and a salinity and chalky grip tying the finish together. Drink 2026-2034.

They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.
