Tasted from bottle, Drouhin's 2017 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches
Blanc is showing very well, offering up aromas of fresh pear, Meyer
lemon and grapefruit zest that are still quite youthfully marked by a
generous application of buttery new oak that experience shows will
integrate nicely with a little age. On the palate, the wine is medium to
full-bodied, satiny and textural, with racy underlying acids, a fragrant
core of fruit and a long, penetrating finish. This is a very elegant,
aromatic rendition of this emblematic Drouhin cuvee.

Tasted blind, the 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Marquis de
Laguiche performed brilliantly, revealing a lovely bouquet of white
flowers, ripe pear and hazelnut cream. On the palate, the wine is
full-bodied, glossy and textural, with considerable concentration and
chewy extract underpinned by bright, tangy acids that lend excellent
delineation to the long, pure finish. It's a terrific Morgeot that would
embarrass many grands crus in this vintage.
