WINE DESCRIPTION
Burgundy, spanning from Chablis in the north to Beaujolais in the south, is one of the world's most captivating wine regions, renowned for its exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines. Joseph Drouhin Bourgogne Pinot Noir sources grapes from diverse vineyards with chalk and limestone soils, undergoing fermentation with native yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.
Maison Joseph Drouhin, founded by Joseph Drouhin in 1880, is a Burgundian pioneer. Robert Drouhin, his nephew, led the estate from 1957, eschewing pesticides and chemicals and establishing a Burgundian oenology laboratory. The domaine, spanning 80 hectares in prime Burgundy appellations, is a Burgundian cornerstone with over two-thirds classified as Premier and Grand Crus. Today, the fourth-generation leadership, Frédéric, Véronique, Philippe, and Laurent, continue the tradition and innovation set by their father, Robert, crafting wines known for elegance and perfection.
