Joseph Drouhin - Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2008
Rating: Bettane & Desseauve 17/20
Clos de Vougeot is a vast 50-hectare vineyard nestled between Vosne-Romanée and Chambolle-Musigny. Joseph Drouhin owns two plots in this legendary vineyard, situated on a gentle, east-facing slope. This 2008 vintage is well-balanced, with intense aromas of raspberry and wild cherry that become more complex over the years: undergrowth, truffle, candied fruit...

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.
