Description
What kind of wine is it
Joseph Drouhin Vosne-Romanée embodies the elegance of Pinot Noir in a refined, still red wine with a deep, brilliant ruby colour. On the nose, it opens with clear aromas of wild cherry, wild strawberry and blackcurrant, enriched by notes of nutmeg, leather and camphor wood, with hints of truffle emerging as it evolves. On the palate, it reveals a fleshy and robust body, supported by perfectly integrated tannins. The balanced acidity ensures a harmonious drink, culminating in a powerful and persistent finish of great class.
Where does it come from
Originating from Burgundy, this wine is produced in the heart of Vosne-Romanée. At its Beaune headquarters, Joseph Drouhin practises organic and sustainable viticulture, maintaining a high planting density that encourages the production of concentrated, top-quality grapes. This approach, deeply respectful of the terroir, gives a structure focused on the pure expression of the fruit. With exceptional ageing potential, it is a wine capable of maturing in the cellar for many years, developing in complexity and finesse.
How is it produced
Vinification involves a period of maceration and fermentation lasting several weeks, carried out with indigenous yeasts at a controlled temperature to achieve precise and clean aromatic extraction. Maturation continues for a period ranging from fourteen to eighteen months in oak barrels, with a moderate use of new wood so as not to overpower the identity of the Pinot Noir. Thanks to its enveloping texture, it pairs perfectly with structured meat dishes, enhancing recipes based on game, roast pork, baked rabbit and mature cheeses.

His son Maurice succeeded him and began to establish a vineyard domaine for the House, purchasing land in some outstanding appellations such as Clos des Mouches and Clos de Vougeot.
Robert Drouhin, who succeeded Maurice in 1957, gave the domaine its present dimension, acquiring many vineyards, especially in Chablis where he was able to recognize the true potential. He was one of the first in Burgundy to introduce "culture raisonnée" (doing away with pesticides and other chemicals) and to build a laboratory of enology run by Laurence Jobard, the very first woman enologist in Burgundy.
Philippe, Véronique, Laurent and Frédéric are Robert and Françoise Drouhin's four children. They uphold the values of the House and its constant quest for quality, for the pleasure of all those who have a deep appreciation for the natural elegance of Burgundy. Read more
