Description
This is a small vineyard, located below Bonnes-Mares. It has a slight slope and is oriented towards the east. The name of the village "Chambolle" probably comes from the Celtic "cambola" (meaning fertile land near a stream, good quality soil). Joseph Drouhin owns several plots in this appellation, which were already known for their vineyards in Gallo-Roman times and were worked by monks in the Middle Ages.
Grapes harvested by hand in open crates. If necessary, careful sorting. 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 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 in oak barrels, including 25% new barrels. Maturation lasts between 14 and 18 months.
With mainly Les Baudes fruit, the 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Village has a light and airy bouquet that feels well defined. The 40% new oak is well integrated. The palate is well balanced with fine tannins, tight and fresh with an elegant and pure finish. Delicious, although only 560 bottles were produced.

With mainly fruit from Les Baudes, the 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Village has a light and airy bouquet that feels well-defined. The 40% new oak is well integrated. The palate is well balanced with fine tannins, taut and fresh with an elegant and pure finish. Delightful, though only 560 bottles produced.

Caroline Drouhin greets me at the estate’s winery in the heart of Gevrey Village, replete with a newly-built tasting room and offices. “We had some hail on 9 June in the north of Gevrey [in Lavaut Saint-Jacques], and En Champs suffered some damage,” she tells me. “But the real damage came from the rain during the storm. The torrent of water made the wall collapse.” The team picked from 20 September, though the secateurs were sheathed almost immediately as the heavens opened. They restarted the following day, and the must underwent a cool maceration. “We were a little worried at first, but I think the wines came out good. Now the job is to transfer this energy into bottle.”
As I have reported in previous articles, the style of Drouhin-Laroze’s wines is entirely different from those of Drouhin’s father, Philippe, which tended to be a little over-oaked. The change in style is perhaps not quite as 180° as Domaine Dugat’s, but it’s not far off. Given the growing season, this is a commendable portfolio, some of the grander cuvées maybe just missing some substance, though fresh and terroir-driven. They really excel with the Clos de Vougeot and a splendid Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze, though keep your eyes peeled for a very fine Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur and an over-performing Craipillot.

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.
