| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.7 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 39 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Mrbuzz on 11/29/2021 & rated 95 points: Started out a little subdued with baked apple and vanilla creme...squeeze of lemon, slight sour tart austerity to it...NOT poxed...but not too exciting at the pop n pour. Totally blossomed and expanded with air! Rich yellow orchard fruits...apple and apricot...wonderful waxy creme to the wine, with chalky crushed stone minerality, flint strike smoke...subtle caramel apple and butterscotch spice notes as well. The citrus was ample and kept the brightness lite...pretty florals...but I really loved how soft and subtle...with the right amount of mushroom and honey maturity the wine had...and a waxy dry texture, slight spearmint...a little Raveneau-esk. Went amazingly well with this forager mushroom cavatelli pasta dish! Very happy with this bottle! (1343 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 6/3/2021 & rated 90 points: Beaune 1er Cru Tasting, in Both Shades (House of Nanda - Chicago IL): 05/06/08/16 vertical. Rich apple, some peach, spice and floral hints. Best within 30 minutes after popped-and-poured, slightly less interesting when finished. (2135 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 6/3/2021 & rated 89 points: Surprisingly zesty with good lively fruit. Perhaps a touch short relative to the superb 08 and 16 tasted side-by-side. (1504 views) | | | Tasted by steinersing on 6/17/2019 & rated 93 points: From mag showng very well. Fresh and good tension. (2006 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 9/28/2018 flawed bottle: Drouhin Clos des Mouches Vertical Dinner (+) with the Drouhins (S.K.Y. Restaurant - Chicago IL): Corked. (2642 views) | | | Tasted by edm on 2/3/2018: Well past its prime. Unpleasant sherry notes overwhelm. (1896 views) | | | Tasted by cincybt on 9/9/2017 & rated 92 points: This was a nice surprise, as I was expecting it to be past-peak. Paired with fresh Coho, a tomato corn salad, and a wicked toasted sour-dough. This kept getting better and unpacking until its sad ending. I think I know where I can find another bottle of this vintage. On the trail! (2146 views) | | | Tasted by winebuff037 on 4/23/2017 & rated 92 points: lemon and creamy. (2430 views) | | | Tasted by peternelson on 6/26/2016 & rated 92 points: Perfectly aged with slight nuttiness,orchard fruit, richness, excellent concentration and long finish. Very nice. Water Grill (2784 views) | | | Tasted by Javachip on 3/23/2015 & rated 93 points: Clear light straw color. Beautiful profile of pear, quince, white grapefruit, pollen, honeycomb, light smoke, lava stone. Wonderful balance, minerality and acidity. (3499 views) | | | Tasted by Lordswood on 10/11/2014 & rated 91 points: I have found this wine to be quite fat and oaky in style, but compared to the 2004 (delicious!) that I had last, this is leaner and tauter and continued to develop in the glass. Lovely wine and well worth seeking out. (3230 views) | | | Tasted by johnh1001 on 10/1/2014 & rated 91 points: Tastevin (Racquet Club Chicago): Nice nose of peach and other tropical fruit. Nice oily texture. Great balance. Drank well over 4 hours. Very pleasant. (3310 views) | | | Tasted by AllRed on 9/20/2014 & rated 88 points: Apple and stone qualities with just the slightest hint of nutty oxidation. Rich texture with a long finish. (2789 views) | | | Tasted by Musigny151 on 7/16/2014 & rated 92 points: I have had some bad premox experiences with this wine recently. No sign here though, the wine was at an early stage of maturity, showing a pleasant floral character, good depth and an excellent finish. (2459 views) | | | Tasted by Chriskrueger on 4/15/2014 & rated 88 points: Nothing particularly special. Could have been a Cali Chardonnay (1837 views) | | | Tasted by AllRed on 11/10/2013 & rated 86 points: Second Sunday Group: 2000 Frédéric Magnien Horizontal (Our house): Deep straw yellow color with aroams of apples and a bit of toasty oak as well as cashew. Flavors of sour lemon, apple and pear with a slight bitterness on the finish. Guesses from the group on this were Rhone blend. Disappointing given the price. (2075 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 4/12/2012 & rated 91 points: Lush aromas of ripe peach with some background tropical fruit hints, plus some marzipan and summer flowers. Same lush fruit on palate, well supported by minerality and acidity from middle forward. Lots of power that balances the ripeness nicely. (3168 views) | | | Tasted by sdchevs on 4/4/2012 & rated 90 points: Sharp, mid-gold; stone fruit, minerals, peachy; round, ripe, good fruit, a little short. w/assorted canapes (2422 views) | | | Tasted by jseal@hotmail.com on 9/23/2011 & rated 93 points: tasted against 16 others in my cellar with friends, this showed strongly. yellow and clear, it smelled of understated citrus and light grass. medium oak with a good balance between citrus and floral notes with high complexity. Medium length, low acidity strong balance - a classic white burgundy. (3064 views) | | | Tasted by DWG on 6/18/2011 & rated 88 points: an excellent wine that I think is at its peak. Great weight and complexity. Very nice with Lobster salad. (3105 views) | | | Tasted by DWG on 4/20/2011 & rated 89 points: A bit closed when first opened but developed beautifully over 2 hours with lots of complexity on the nose nice weight and balance. Very nice but would open a few hours before drinking (3027 views) | | | Tasted by JamesSanders on 1/16/2011 & rated 92 points: Shows advanced, which is not unexpected for 2006. Jan wanted a rich, buttery chardonnay, but with fruit. This was right on the money. (3098 views) | | | Tasted by portobellovines on 5/31/2010 & rated 89 points: very fine, delicate, clean, floral and hints of oak and flint, butter, light but long. (3109 views) | | | Tasted by matwel on 5/3/2010 & rated 90 points: Nice and clean. Nose was of light citrus zest and crisp ripe pears. Great minerality balance and a light oak taste. (3201 views) | | | Tasted by AndrewSGHall on 5/3/2010: Very nice. Light and transparent to mineral and Mouches zip. Pleasing fruit, some oak at the back. Good balance. Pleasing.

| 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
