“Aromas of thyme, licorice, redcurrants, and blackberries. A hint of orange peel. Very fresh acidity and lively fruit, with medium body and fine tannins. A precise, long finish. Drink now or cellar.” (James Suckling 2023)

Rated estate (2022 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to their consistency and the 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 in the vineyards. In July 2013, it opened a wine bar in the heart of Beaune. It has found its stride and has established 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.

About the wine:
The nose is fragrant with thyme, licorice, redcurrants, and blackberries. A hint of orange peel. Very fresh acidity and lively fruit, with a medium-bodied structure and fine tannins. A precise, long finish. Ready to drink now or for aging.
