| Community Tasting Notes (average 93 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 9 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by Cailles on 11/19/2023 & rated 94 points: This was excellent. Loads of saline minerality, some spices wrapped around a citrus fruit core with the hot 2018 vintage showing only in some riper apricot and quince fruit notes. Thanks to all the minerality and a medium+ acidity, the wine remains on the right side of things and should drink well for quite some time. (847 views) | | Tasted by sirpat00 on 11/11/2023 & rated 93 points: Tasted at the estate. Intense aromas of matchstick, smoke and a ripe fruit of slightly baked pear and plenty of saline mineral. The palate has some weight to it, easily balanced with the crisp and fresh acidity. (518 views) | | Tasted by sirpat00 on 4/7/2023 & rated 94 points: Tasted during a visit to the estate in Beaune. This spent 15 months in oak (25% new). A hot vintage and the release was hence kept back a while. Reductive with popcorn and matchstick notes. Pear, green apple and tangerine fruit. Hints of toasted brioche. Mineral complexity includes smoke, cold steel and rocky. Beautifully crisp palate, linear and precise. (1007 views) | | Tasted by beatles on 11/15/2019 & rated 94 points: Very typical, structure is so fine, vertical, manky, yet elegant; a real Corton, long future ahead. 94+ point (2660 views) | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 7/2/2019: Joseph Drouhin Cellar Visit and Tasting with Vero (Beaune): Tasting, brief note. From the Aloxe-Corton side. Also showing 2018's rich and fat character. Good density, this is already fun and balanced. Another wine I'd think best to enjoy young, probably 2022-2028. (2513 views) |

| Joseph Drouhin Producer Website
Joseph Drouhin always had a passion for wine, and in 1880 in Burgundy, he founded the independent company that still bears his name. Today, his great grandchildren, Philippe, Véronique, Laurent and Frédéric, run the family-owned company from their ancestors house. Each has their own personality, but together, they share a common passion for the vine and the wine. Day after day, they strive for harmony, the hallmark of Joseph Drouhin wines.
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.
A rigorous attention to detail, self-imposed discipline, a desire to learn, a rigorous 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 quality.
The Joseph Drouhin Domaine was assembled parcel by parcel over the years and today comprises 73 hectares (182.5 acres) of vineyards in Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise and Chablis. It is one of the most important domains in Burgundy, with more than two thirds of the vineyards classified as Premier and Grand Crus.
Today, the fourth generation is at the helm. Each has his role to play in imposing the Family “ Charter of Excellence”. Charter of Excellence

2018 vintage: "marked by a wet spring, a superb summer and a good harvest" 2019 vintage reports 2021: "From a general standpoint, whether for white, rosé or red wines, 2021 is a year marked by quality in the Rhône Valley Vineyards. Structured, elegant, fresh and fruity will be the main keywords for this new vintage." 2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes: * "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons * "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson * "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes: "We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes: "Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes: "Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes: "The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
