"A legendary vintage that has gone down in the history of the Drouhin estate: exceptional!"
“A very elegant and silky Pinot Noir that unfolds on the palate with aromas of ripe cherries and baked plums, supported by a tart note of black cherries that lends it liveliness and balance. One of Drouhin’s most consistent wines year after year, and this vintage is of excellent quality. Drink now or celller. ” (James Suckling 2024)

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
This winery is now led by Frédéric Drouhin, supported by his sister Véronique for the wines and by his brother Philippe in 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 winery draws on a biodynamic vineyard that is particularly rich in great white wines, both in the Côte-de-Beaune and in Chablis (wines sold under the Drouhin-Vaudon label), including the famous Clos des Mouches.

About the wine:
Pure and velvety, with aromas and flavors of black cherry, blackberry, violet, sandalwood, and mineral notes, this red wine boasts a sumptuous texture and beautiful harmony. It is supported by lively acidity that extends its intense finish. It offers superb balance and a lovely length on the palate. Best enjoyed between 2028 and 2047.
