Ratings: Robert Parker 90/100, RVF 17/20
The Joseph Drouhin estate owns nearly half of this one-hectare vineyard, which borders the famous Pruliers. It produces a wine with intense, elegant aromas reminiscent of cherry jelly, paired with woody and balsamic notes such as cedar; as it ages, it often develops a distinct gamey aroma. A great wine!

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.
