Producer: Joseph Drouhin Vintage: 2018 Size:750ml ABV:13% Varietal: Pinot Noir Country/Region: France, Burgundy Deep red colour.

On the palate: beautiful balance between structure and softness. The long aftertaste is reminiscent of fruit syrups and mild spices. Joseph Drouhin is one of Burgundy's most important wine producers. Founded in Beaune in 1880, the domaine has expanded throughout the 20th Century to include vineyards in Chablis, the C'te de Nuits, the C'te de Beaune and the C'te Chalonnaise, making everything from simple, village-level cuv'es to highly priced grand cru and premier cru wines from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The domaine was started by the eponymous Drouhin, who established the company's headquarters in the city of Beaune in the late 19th Century. His son, Maurice, began to acquire vineyards in the early 20th Century, starting with the now-iconic Clos des Mouches vineyard. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s Joseph Drouhin began to expand its land holdings in Chablis and, in 1988, the domaine established a vineyard in Oregon, in the United States. Domaine Joseph Drouhin makes several grand cru wines in the C'te d'Or and in Chablis, including ones from Musigny, Corton-Charlemagne and Les Clos, as well as the Marquis de Laguiche Montrachet Grand Cru. It also has land in some of the C'te d'Or's most famous premier cru vineyards, including Chambolle-Musigny's Les Amoureuses vineyard and in Beaune's Clos des Mouches. Joseph Drouhin makes a range of village-level and regional wines. Grapes for these are sourced from growers in the area, as well as from the domaine's own vineyards.
