Beaune Clos des Mouches Joseph Drouhin
Beaune Clos des Mouches Joseph Drouhin is a wine made by the producer Joseph Drouhin from grapes grown in the Clos des Mouches vineyard in Côte de Beaune, Burgundy. Clos de Mouches is a Premier Cru wineyard, and both red and white wines are produced. White Clos des Mouches from Drouhin generally command a slightly higher price than the red wine.

In the New York Wine Tasting of 1973, the winery's 1969 was ranked in fifth place after four California Chardonnays.
Beaune Clos des Mouches Joseph Drouhin also competed in the Great Chardonnay Showdown wine competition held in 1980.
