Winemaker Notes
Elegance and perfection, two of Joseph Drouhin's tenets. The colour is bright and intense. A full palette of aromas reminiscent of stone fruit (cherry, peach, apricot), cocoa, exotic wood (cedar). On the palate, the texture is like silk and velvet. In the aftertaste, the same touch of dark chocolate is in evidence. Extremely long aftertaste
About Winery
Maison Joseph Drouhin's short story is one of a family's long and successful journey in Burgundy, starting in 1880 with Joseph Drouhin, a 22-year-old négociant. He established a wine trading house, and the business was later expanded by his son, Maurice, who focused on building a domain with its own vineyards. Robert Drouhin, the third generation, further developed the estate by acquiring Grand Cru vineyards and expanding into Chablis and even Oregon in 1987. Today, the fourth generation, Véronique Drouhin-Boss, is in charge of winemaking in both France and Oregon.
