Joseph Drouhin - Saint-Romain blanc 2023
93/100
James Suckling
"This Saint-Romain elevates Chardonnay in this surprising cuvée produced in small quantities—a wonderful discovery!"
“A smooth, pleasant texture, with notes of lanolin, honey, chalk, and stone. There are also aromas of grape skins. A medium-bodied wine with lovely roundness and a lively finish. One to watch closely. Ready to drink now.” (James Suckling 2025)

Alluring, with delicate aromas of honeysuckle blossoms and mirabelle plum jam, evolving upon aeration into notes of honey and gingerbread

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:
This winery is now led by Frédéric Drouhin, supported by his sister Véronique for the wines and by his brother Philippe in 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 winery draws on a biodynamic vineyard that is particularly rich in great white wines, both in the Côte-de-Beaune and in Chablis (wines sold under the Drouhin-Vaudon label), including the famous Clos des Mouches.
