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

Eye
A clear, brilliant white-gold color
Nose
Seductive, with delicate aromas of honeysuckle blossoms and mirabelle plum jam, evolving upon aeration into notes of honey and gingerbread
Palate
Lively and fresh on the palate, it then develops a lovely roundness with generous fruit, wrapped in a hint of lemon zest, leading to a long, mineral finish with notes of crushed stone characteristic of the terroir

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 that is particularly well-stocked with fine white wines, both in the Côte-de-Beaune and in Chablis (wines sold under the Drouhin-Vaudon label), including the famous Clos des Mouches.
