About this Item
In 1880, a 22-year-old Joseph Drouhin settled in Beaune and founded his own wine company. His son Maurice succeeded him and established a domaine for the Drouhin house by buying land in outstanding appellations including the famous Clos des Mouches and Clos de Vougeot. Today, 4th generation Véronique Drouhin continues the family’s prestigious Burgundy legacy. With 73 hectares of biodynamically-farmed vines, Joseph Drouhin is one of Burgundy’s largest estates. With vineyards in close to 90 different appellations, Drouhin offers a fascinating array of Burgundy terroirs.

Critics Ratings
'This is polished and expressive, featuring blackberry, blueberry, graphite and spice flavors. Rich, yet fluid and fresh, with a firm backbone of tannins for support. Shows fine lift and length on the spice- and mineral-tinged aftertaste. Best from 2023 through 2042.' - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (May 2018)
'The 2015 Chambolle-Musigny Village has an attractive bouquet with black plum, undergrowth and wilted violet scents. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, smooth and harmonious, not enormous weight but nicely controlled and sensual on the finish. It gives you just about all you seek in a village cru level Chambolle.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate (Dec 2016)
