Description

chevron-down

This is a small vineyard, located below Bonnes-Mares. It has a slight slope and is oriented to the east. The name of the village "Chambolle" is probably derived from the Celtic "cambola" (meaning fertile land near a stream, soil of good quality). Joseph Drouhin owns several plots of land in this appellation, which were already known for their vineyards in Gallo-Roman times and were cultivated by monks in the Middle Ages. "Baudes" is an ancient vineyard whose name is of Germanic origin ("Baud"). Complex limestone subsoil, dating from the Jurassic period and ideally suited for Pinot Noir.

The wine shows a vibrant, bright red color. The aromas are numerous, complex and simple: violet, black cherry, humus, truffle and a hint of venison as ripeness approaches. On the palate, the amount and strength of tannins is quite subdued and delicate. Acidity and texture are in harmonious proportion. In the aftertaste, long-lasting and fine flavors of candied fruit or kirsch.

Grapes harvested by hand in openwork crates. If necessary, careful sorting is carried out. Whole harvest from 20 to 50% depending on the vintage. In accordance with the terroir and the profile of the vintage, we do 2 to 3 weeks of fermentation and maceration in small open barrels, marked by punching the cap and pumping over. The yeasts are indigenous (natural). Pressing in a vertical press. Separation of the ends of the presses based on tests. Aging in oak barrels, including 25% new barrels. Maturation takes between 14 and 18 months.

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.
