Joseph Drouhin
On October 10th, we had the pleasure of visiting Maison Joseph Drouhin, another legendary Burgundy winery with a rich history dating back to 1880. Known for its dedication to elegance, balance, and terroir expression, Joseph Drouhin owns over 80 hectares of vineyards across some of Burgundy’s most prestigious appellations, including Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Côte Chalonnaise.
Our tour took us deep into their historic cellars beneath the streets of Beaune, which date back to the 13th century and were once used by the Dukes of Burgundy. Walking through these ancient tunnels, surrounded by bottles aging to perfection, was like stepping back in time.
We then enjoyed a tasting of their exquisite wines, each reflecting the finesse and craftsmanship of this renowned domaine. The wines we tasted included:
- Chablis Premier Cru Mont de Milieu 2021
- Meursault Charmes Premier Cru 2020
- Saint-Romain 2020
- Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2018
- Savigny-lès-Beaune Fourneaux Premier Cru 2019
- Morey-Saint-Denis Genavrières Premier Cru 2020
Joseph Drouhin is a pioneer in organic and biodynamic winemaking, ensuring that each bottle expresses the purity of its terroir. It was truly an unforgettable experience!
