a stunning ruby-red dress
Nose
Intense aromas evoke raspberries and wild cherries; over the years, they become more complex, revealing notes of forest floor, truffle, and candied fruit...
Palate
A sublime structure, with noble, refined tannins. The epitome of elegant perfection according to Joseph Drouhin, with remarkable balance. The aromas linger astonishingly long on the palate. Tasting this wine is a deeply moving experience

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.

Review by Mr. FREDERIC B. Published on January 29, 2014
The only grand cru tasted that evening, but the difference is clear. Still a deep purple color, with a very intense aroma. Lively on the palate with powerful tannins.
