Joseph Drouhin is a Burgundy wine producer founded in 1880 in Beaune, with significant holdings throughout the Côte d'Or and Chablis regions. The house operates vineyards across prestigious appellations including Chablis, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, and Vosne-Romanée, focusing exclusively on Burgundy's two noble grape varieties: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

The producer's wines reflect traditional Burgundian winemaking, emphasizing terroir expression over manipulation. Their Chablis holdings, operated under the Drouhin-Vaudon label, produce mineral-driven Chardonnays that showcase the Kimmeridgian soils of this northernmost Burgundy appellation. The Côte d'Or wines demonstrate the classic characteristics of their respective villages, from the rich, honeyed textures of Meursault to the elegant, perfumed Pinot Noirs of Vosne-Romanée.

Joseph Drouhin's current range spans village-level wines through Premier Cru and Grand Cru bottlings. Their portfolio includes sought-after appellations like Chassagne-Montrachet and Pouilly-Fuissé for white wines, alongside red wines from Givry in the Côte Chalonnaise and prestigious Côte de Nuits villages. The house maintains both estate vineyards and long-term contracts with growers, allowing them to offer wines across Burgundy's hierarchy of appellations.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.
