Description
The Grand Cru vineyard of Chambertin-Clos de Bèze is located in the northern part of the Côte de Nuits. It enjoys an excellent exposure with its east-facing position and its gentle slope. The monks of the Bèze Abbey became owners of vineyards in Gevrey as early as 630 AD. They cultivated this vineyard and built a wall around it that no longer exists today. The soil is a mixture of red clay, chalk and broken stones. This wine comes from grapes harvested on some plots of the Drouhin Family Properties, as well as grapes and must purchased from suppliers according to strict specifications. The grapes are harvested by hand in open-work crates. Careful sorting is carried out if necessary. Full harvest of 20 to 50% depending on the vintage. In accordance with the terroir and the vintage profile, we do 2 to 3 weeks of fermentation and maceration in small open vats, marked by the punching of the cap and pumping over. The yeasts are indigenous (natural). Pressing in a vertical press. Separation of the ends of the presses based on tasting. Maturation takes place in oak barrels, including 30% new barrels. Maturation lasts between 16 and 20 months.
During the maturation process, decisions are made only after careful evaluation of the tasting. The data obtained are supplemented by technical analysis. As with all other Joseph Drouhin wines, the emphasis is on the true expression of the terroir and the character of the vintage. A beautiful, intense ruby red colour. Powerful but refined aromas. When the wine is young, the aromas are reminiscent of black cherry and dark chocolate. With age, they evolve into notes of undergrowth, truffle and liquorice. After about 15 years, the aromas of candied fruit remain, but are mixed with nuances of leather and musk. Tannins provide a good structure, perfectly balanced by the velvety texture of the wine. The long finish brings back the aromas of cherry and liquorice: a kaleidoscope of sensations...

Wijnhuis
Joseph Drouhin was a bold and enterprising young man who hailed from the Chablis region. In 1880, at the age of 22, he settled in Beaune and founded his own wine company there. His goal was to offer high quality wines that would bear his name. His son Maurice succeeded him and set up a vineyard estate in front of the house, buying land in some excellent appellations such as Clos des Mouches and Clos de Vougeot. Robert Drouhin, who succeeded Maurice in 1957, gave the domain its current dimension and acquired many vineyards, especially in Chablis, where he was able to recognize its true potential. He was one of the first in Burgundy to introduce "culture raisonnée" (abolition of pesticides and other chemicals) and set up an oenology laboratory led by Laurence Jobard, the very first female oenologist in Burgundy. Philippe, Véronique, Laurent and Frédéric are the four children of Robert and Françoise Drouhin. They uphold the values of the house and its constant search for quality, for the enjoyment of all who have a deep appreciation for the natural elegance of Burgundy.
With nearly 90 different appellations, Joseph Drouhin offers a fascinating range of Burgundian terroirs in all their authenticity and subtle variations. Joseph Drouhin has adopted the organic and biodynamic approach. Only natural products are used in the vineyards and all procedures show the utmost respect for the soil, the vine and the environment. Joseph Drouhin's style is an alliance between character, balance and harmony. Wines intended to be drunk young are fresh and subtle; wines that are meant to be preserved take on a luscious complexity with age.
