This is a Clos des Mouches that positively caresses the palate, and it will offer a broad drinking window.\r\nJames Suckling 94 Points\r\nWine Spectator 94 Points\r\nRobert Parker 93 Points\r\nWine Enthusiast 93 Points\r\nAbout Joseph Drouhin\r\nA Family HERITAGE\r\nFor the last 140 years, Maison Joseph Drouhin has been in the hands of the Drouhin family.
