Immediately on the nose you sense that expressive, fleshy fruit that is such a marker of this cuvee. Tangerine, touches of guava, salt, then something more like olive and stones. The palate is quite rich yet also quite gentle, with a flow and weight to it that propels it along the palate. Calm, deep, flowing, with the typical caress of Laguiche Morgeots – more about deep layers than raciness. Long finish. “This is always such a consistent wine, almost from day one in the barrels. We have three blocks, one of which always gets millerandage” Veronique explained. Picked September 2nd to the 5th.
Joseph Drouhin are a family own Domaines and Negociant who command the greatest respect of all the big Burgundy houses. Their knowledge of the land combined with their attention to details in the vineyards as well as their gentle wine making style results in very fine Burgundy that reflect its origin. Little use of new oak, gentle extraction and whole bunch fermentation according to the year or the cuvee are whole part of their belief that good burgundy can't be made by firm hand of the winemaker. The crown jewels in the Drouhin portfolio are without doubt the Domaine Marquis de Laguiche, which has the largest percentage of land in Le Montrachet (30%) of all the owners, and the Domaine Drouhin-owned Clos des Mouches. Drouhin have had exclusive control over the former estate, from cultivation to distribution, since 1947, while Clos des Mouches is one of those rare breeds in Burgundy, a monopole. Originally planted with Pinot Noir, almost half the vineyard was replanted with Chardonnay in 1921 by Maurice Drouhin.
