| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.9 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 40 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by rwpalmer on 4/25/2021 & rated 90 points: This bottle was delicious but teetering. The fruit had become blowsy though with some residual definition and even hint of oak to keep it just on the right side. Drink now! (970 views) | | | Tasted by markcic on 11/2/2019 & rated 91 points: We pnp'd with a dinner of oven roasted salmon. The nose was white flowers and peaches. The palate was peach, melon and lemon flowers. The finish was moderate and more pronounced the closer to room temperature it got. (1053 views) | | | Tasted by djarcara on 12/31/2018 & rated 91 points: Golden color. Pear, quince, butterscotch and a touch of citrus on the palate. Well in its drinking window. (1245 views) | | | Tasted by Pknut on 8/1/2018: Definitely showing a lot of new oak. Palate also has good fruit, good weight in the mouth, some floral notes. Enjoyable, but not profound. Quality Italian with Jim W., Joe D'A. (1718 views) | | | Tasted by StasMedvedev.lv on 7/5/2018 & rated 94 points: 🏅Rating 94/100 (4,4⭐)
White Burgundy tasting
Intense color, liquid gold. Very classic P-M at its peak. Great example of 1er Cru with signature minerality and nerve. Depth and finesse.
That's exactly what mature Chardonnay should be.
Folatieres is quite big climat with great terroir and often referred to as the benchmark of P-M. (1067 views) | | | Tasted by markcic on 7/1/2018 & rated 91 points: Much better than the bottle I had in January. Clear yellow in color. White fruit on the nose. The palate is white flowers, melon, oak and peaches. The finish is mostly peach with a little oak to keep it in balance. Consumed over two nights. (1258 views) | | | Tasted by djarcara on 5/18/2018 & rated 90 points: Golden yellow color. Full body. Pineapple, lemon, and butterscotch nose. Those flavors carry over to the palate along with quince, caramel, and vanilla. Balanced fruit to acidity, but the finish has a slight astringency. Well within its drinking window. Not sure if time will give this more upside. (1196 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 4/9/2018 & rated 86 points: Sour or just reduced? Mineral palate. (1323 views) | | | Tasted by markcic on 1/3/2018 & rated 89 points: The nose is white flowers, the palate was flowers, pear and oak. The finish was moderate. (1104 views) | | | Tasted by giba ochman on 3/21/2017 & rated 93 points: Consistent. A touch of botrytis that I have seen in other 2008 white burgs. Drink now (1478 views) | | | Tasted by swyang on 11/12/2016: Excellent energy and the Puligny back bone is starting to shape the body in the way I start liking it, in fact a lot more than last bottle. But alas I no longer have other bottles. I had thought that the last bottle was a bit worrisome as it was a bit too round, too oaky, but that was the baby fat, I suppose, and this is actually growing, and will grow a lot more, to be a handsome wine indeed. Another experience of learning... Cheers, (1631 views) | | | Tasted by djarcara on 10/1/2016 & rated 92 points: Full body. Loosing its baby fat. The butterscotch and creaminess is falling away. Pineapple, nutmeg, coriander secondary flavors are emerging. Still has time ahead, but fun to drink now. (1512 views) | | | Tasted by burgbob on 9/3/2016 & rated 90 points: In light of other reviews this bottle, my only, did not perform that well. Still a lovely honeyed entry and soft length with some minerality but missing some depth and perhaps a tad past its prime. (1643 views) | | | Tasted by giba ochman on 5/8/2016 & rated 94 points: Consistent note. Great value. Drink now (1853 views) | | | Tasted by giba ochman on 4/30/2016 & rated 93 points: Nice wine. Drink now. (1366 views) | | | Tasted by giba ochman on 4/5/2016 & rated 94 points: Very good. Drink now. (1199 views) | | | Tasted by giba ochman on 4/4/2016 & rated 89 points: Flaw (1076 views) | | | Tasted by gsquireh on 8/26/2015 & rated 94 points: Complex minerality introduced by aromatic peony and pretty pear along with luscious lemon and lingering laburnum flower and hints of hazelnut lead to a delicious finish. Last bottle of this wine in my cellar was the best of the twelve. (1666 views) | | | Tasted by rwpalmer on 3/1/2015 & rated 93 points: Flawless. Lovely hint of freshly sawn oak. Nice fruit, power and elegance. A great wine. (1499 views) | | | Tasted by WillersC on 9/8/2013 & rated 94 points: Stunning puligny. Smokey, floral, minerality, great depth and length. Wonderful balance. (3104 views) | | | Tasted by djarcara on 6/27/2013 & rated 93 points: Medium to full body. Nose of butterscotch and apricot. Palate of vanilla, butterscotch with a strong salty minerality. Wonderful wine. Should improve even more over time. (3052 views) | | | Tasted by xuaeinw on 9/22/2012 & rated 93 points: Very complex and intense. (3685 views) | | | Tasted by xuaeinw on 7/18/2012 & rated 94 points: I think this wine is just outstanding. Incredible intensity. (3535 views) | | | Tasted by xuaeinw on 5/19/2012 & rated 93 points: Round citrus notes, hints of oak, great balance, lingering pleasant acidity in the follow through. Wonderful now and probably for several years. (3286 views) | | | Tasted by WillersC on 1/15/2012 & rated 93 points: Full, smooth, complex. Lot's of oak influence at the moment but still very refined. Needs time but is delicious at the moment (2479 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |
| 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

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
