Vineyard

Producing commune : Volnay.

Site : south of Beaune and Pommard, Joseph Drouhin owns this beautiful vineyard in the heart of Volnay.

History & tradition : the origin of the name is oak tree (“chêne” in French) and this area may have been planted with oak trees at some time. The Drouhin family has kept a close watch over this vineyard: some notebooks written by Robert's father and grandfather have been handed down to the present generation and contain a treasure trove of information on the vineyard itself and its history.

Soil : clay and limestone.

Winemaking

Harvest: grapes harvested by hands in open-work crates. If necessary, a careful sorting is proceeded.

Vinification: whole crop harvest of 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 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.

Aging: in oak barrels including 25% of new barrels.
It lasts between 14 to 18 months.

Origin of the wood: oak grown in French high forest.

Throughout the aging process, decisions are taken only after careful tasting evaluation. The data obtained is completed through technical analysis. As with every other Joseph Drouhin wine, absolute priority is given to the true expression of terroir and character of the vintage.
