"A wine as delicate as lace and as smooth as silk!"
“More aromatic and appealing than the Clos des Mouches Rouge. Lots of fruit, but also plenty of acidity, structure, and complexity. A very good result!” (Jancis Robinson 2023)

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting 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:
The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru has a beautifully nuanced bouquet, with more black fruit than red fruit, crushed iris flowers, and a subtle hint of oyster shell. The palate is finely crafted with supple tannins and good structure, though it lacks just a touch of concentration on the finish. A competent Chambolle-Musigny that could well improve in a few years.
James Suckling
Wine rated (2023 guide) 93/100
About the wine:
Generous aromas of red berries with notes of dark chocolate and pepper. A ripe, well-structured wine for this appellation, but the moderately dry tannins are already well integrated. A long, elegant finish.
