Winemaker Notes
The 2021 Joseph Drouhin Beaujolais-Villages pours a brilliant raspberry hue and opens with a refined, lifted bouquet of red fruit syrup, crunchy wild strawberries, and delicate floral notes of violet and peony. Reflecting the cooler, classical nature of the 2021 vintage, it is light-to-medium-bodied and refreshingly vibrant on the palate, delivering a silky texture with supple, barely-there tannins and a bright streak of acidity. Juicy and inherently charming, its lively core of red berries and subtle blossom undertones lingers smoothly through a clean, refreshing finish that is best enjoyed with a light chill.
About Winery
Maison Joseph Drouhin was founded in 1880 in Beaune, Burgundy, by Joseph Drouhin, and has since grown into one of the region’s most respected wine producers. Over the generations, the family expanded its holdings to include vineyards across Burgundy—such as Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Côte Chalonnaise—and later established Domaine Drouhin Oregon in the Willamette Valley. Today, the estate remains family-run by Joseph’s great-grandchildren, who continue the tradition of producing elegant wines with a focus on terroir and sustainable practices, including organic certification for their Burgundy vineyards since 2009
