Ratings: Robert Parker 91/100, Gault Millau 16/20
Located in the heart of the renowned Chambolle-Musigny vineyard in the Côte de Nuits, Maison Drouhin owns several well-exposed Premier Cru plots. This 2006 vintage displays great finesse, revealing a highly complex and, above all, remarkably crisp aromatic profile. The noble tannins on the palate, the freshness, the long, lingering finish, and a beautiful balance are all designed to delight the palate of the Burgundy wine lover.

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:

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.
