Supple Red Cherries, Soft Tannins, and Generous Côte de Beaune Charm

The 2023 Joseph Drouhin Chorey-les-Beaune is a delightfully round, fruit-forward red Burgundy that perfectly showcases the welcoming, silky character of this historic appellation. Sourced from gentle plains below the escarpment of Beaune, it offers inviting aromas of ripe red cherries, wild crushed raspberries, and sweet violets. The palate is light-to-medium-bodied and beautifully supple, pairing juicy berry fruit with soft, velvety tannins.

Terroir & Winemaking Reality

  • The Welcoming Terroir of Chorey-les-Beaune: Nestled at the foot of the Côte de Beaune slope, Chorey-les-Beaune features alluvial, clay-rich limestone soils that yield inherently round, supple Pinot Noir. Free from the stern tannic edge of more rugged neighbor sites, Chorey is celebrated for producing approachable, early-drinking wines that display immediate charm, perfume, and velvety softness.
  • Delicate Maison Drouhin Craftsmanship: Under the guidance of winemaker Véronique Drouhin, the Pinot Noir fruit is hand-harvested and strictly sorted. The grapes are completely destemmed to preserve red fruit purity and velvety mouthfeel. Aged for 12 to 15 months in French oak barrels (with a small proportion of new wood), the 2023 bottling balances the sunny warmth of the vintage with the house's signature airy elegance.

Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir estate- and grower-harvested from clay-limestone soils in Chorey-les-Beaune.
  • Crafted by the historic Maison Joseph Drouhin, renowned for their refined, organic-minded winemaking style.
  • A succulent, highly approachable 2023 expression offering supple tannins and immediate drinking pleasure.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Bright, translucent ruby-red core with cheerful crimson highlights at the rim.
  • Nose: Fresh, open, and aromatic. It opens with aromas of ripe red cherries, wild raspberries, and red plums, accompanied by notes of candied violet, subtle nutmeg, and warm earth.
  • Palate: Dry, light-to-medium-bodied, and beautifully smooth. The entry delivers a succulent burst of red berry fruit that flows effortlessly over soft, fine-grained tannins. A balanced spine of natural acidity keeps the finish clean, persistent, and delicious.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve slightly cool at 14–16°C. A gentle chill highlights the bright red berry fruit and preserves its fresh, soft profile.
  • Decanting: A brief 15-to-20 minute decant or simply pouring directly into generous Burgundy glasses will allow the aromatics to open up nicely. Enjoy now through 2030.
  • Western Pairing: Roast chicken, pork tenderloin with apple glaze, pan-seared veal cutlets, charcuterie boards, or mild cheeses like Brie and Camembert.
  • Asian Pairing: Peking duck wraps, Cantonese barbecued pork (Char Siu), soy sauce chicken, or steamed pork dumplings.
