J. Drouhin 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
"The 2020 Corton-Charlemagne from Domaine Drouhin is another stellar example of the vintage. The bouquet is very precise and expressive, delivering notes of apple, pear, flinty, chalky minerality, lemon blossoms, white lilies, citrus zest and a lovely foundation of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, racy and rock solid at the core, with a full-bodied and graceful format, beautiful mineral undertow, snappy acids and a long, complex and utterly seamless finish that shows tremendous lift and grip. Great juice. (Drink between 2028-2065)" -John Gilman, 96JG
Founded in 1880, Domaine Joseph Drouhin has evolved and grown over the years to become one of the largest and most diverse estates in Burgundy. Their holdings include 183 acres of vines across 90 appellations, including Chablis, Beaune, Gevrey Chambertin, Chassagne Montrachet and Beaujolais. A vast majority of Domaine Joseph Drouhin’s vineyards are coveted Premier Cru and Grand Cru plots, noted for their complexity and character. Known for their philosophy around terroir, Joseph Drouhin practices organic and biodynamic viticulture techniques using horse drawn plowing, natural composting and allowing grass to grow freely between the vines. "Drouhin's style places the greatest premium on aromatic range and structural finesse." -William Kelley, Wine Advocate
