Founded in Beaune in 1880, Maison Joseph Drouhin’s cellars have spread from the historical Cellars of the Dukes of Burgundy and the Kings of France in Beaune (12th-18th centuries) to the Moulin de Vaudon, an 18th Century watermill in Chablis. Rigorous attention to detail, self-imposed discipline, a desire to learn, a strong sense of values, passion and daring, are the qualities that have been handed down through the generations, together with the art of winemaking and a never-ending search for excellence. Today, the fourth generation is at the helm leading the way in both France and Oregon.

Super complex and rich with a ripe array of red to dark-cherry and plum aromas, as well as toasted-spice oak influence. This has much to enjoy already. The palate has a very rich, fleshy and intense, layered appeal with a swirling, spicy thread of rich red cherries and long, fine, supple tannins.
