The vineyard where this exquisite Meursault Charmes is grown is located a few kilometers south of Beaune, in the prestigious Côte des Blancs region. A white wine that is both concentrated and elegant, full-bodied without being overpowering, evoking notes of almond, fresh-baked bread, warm croissants, followed by subtle spices, and finally toasted dried fruit. Brilliant!

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.
