Scores: Robert Parker 92/100, Bettane & Desseauve 17/20
"Rich, full-bodied, creamy, powerful..." (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2010 - Bettane & Desseauve). This Grand Cru from the Côte de Beaune delivers the kind of emotion that only the greatest wines can provide. A true masterpiece!

Palate
What stands out most on the palate is the structure and monumental grandeur of this wine. A hint of tannin even adds to this astonishing depth. The finish lingers for a long time, revealing notes of candied fruit and amber.

About the estate:
The estate is now led by Frédéric Drouhin, supported by his sister Véronique for the wines and his brother Philippe for the vineyards. In July 2013, it opened a wine bar in the heart of Beaune. It has found its stride and is establishing itself as a sure bet. The estate draws on a biodynamic vineyard particularly well-stocked with great white wines, in the Côte-de-Beaune as well as in Chablis (wines sold under the Drouhin-Vaudon label), including the famous Clos des Mouches.

Review by Mr. FREDERIC B. Published on January 31, 2015
Pale color, subtle nose with floral notes and a hint of citrus. Lively on the palate with perfectly integrated acidity; I would describe it as a feminine wine compared to the Corton-Charlemagne.
