2020 | Drouhin Joseph | Vosne Romanee

A very floral Vosne-Romanee with wonderful elegance, gliding over your palate, in spite of the firm core of fine tannins and the lemon-zest acidity that drives the long, straight finish.

Reviews:

• John Gilman: The 2020 Vosne-Romanée from Maison Joseph Drouhin was showing even better potential at the time of my visit at the end of November. The nose is black fruity in the style of the vintage, delivering scents of black plums, black raspberries, espresso, dark soil, woodsmoke, pigeon, a touch of bay leaf, juniper berry and cedar. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, complex and shows off lovely sappiness at the core, with bright acids, fine focus and grip, ripe, suave tannins and a long, energetic and complex finish. Lovely juice.

• Burghound: An exuberantly spicy nose features ripe aromas of dark cherry liqueur, sandalwood and exotic jasmine tea. The medium-bodied flavors are not quite as dense though they are, as one would reasonably expect, more refined with even better depth and persistence on the well-balanced if youthfully austere finale. Lovely juice and especially so for its level.

Producer Information

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 Côte de Nuits, the Côte de Beaune and the Côte Chalonnaise, making everything from simple, village-level cuvées 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 Côte 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 Côte 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.
