Joseph Drouhin

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.
