Maison Joseph Drouhin sources its grapes from partner winemakers whose cultivation practices yield high-quality grapes. Aged for 14 months in oak barrels, this Côtes de Nuits Village opens with aromas of red berries and spices, along with notes of undergrowth and mushrooms. Harmonious and balanced. It has good aging potential but can be enjoyed now for the freshness of its fruit.

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.
