Talcum powder, spices, and pears can be found in the nose of the medium-bodied 2001 Beaune Clos des Mouches. A wine of considerable substance, it is rich, broad, lush, and satin-textured. Honeyed minerals (neither oxidized nor sweet) and spices are detected in its expressive personality. Projected maturity: now-2009. This famed negociant firm performed substantially more batonnage on its 2001 whites in an attempt to give them additional body. Importer: Dreyfus Ashby, New York, NY; tel. (212) 818-0770
