(Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy Score 89-91) The grapes from 1er Cru Chaumes were included, and these were vinified as whole bunches. Mid crimson colour. The nose starts quietly but then begins to deliver. Lively fresh and nuanced with some spicy touches as well as the usual white pepper. Drink from 2025-2030. Tasted: November 2022.

Grape Variety :

Pinot Noir

Vineyard

Site: north of Nuits-Saint-Georges, this is one the most celebrated villages of Burgundy, producing world-famous wines such as Romanée-Conti or Richebourg.

History & tradition: the Gauls from the village of Vaona were drafted to serve in the army of Caesar for a period of 20 years. As a reward, the Emperor granted them vineyards, some of which were named "Romanée" by the following generations.

Soil: chalky marl with excellent drainage and exposure ideally suited to the Pinot Noir grape.

Viticulture

Plantation density: 10,000 vinestocks/ha in order to extract as much as possible from the terroir and limit the production of each vine stock.

Pruning: Guyot.

Yield: 43 hl/ha - purposely low, in order for the grapes to reveal every nuance of the terroir.

Grape Supply: grapes and wines provided by regular supply partners.

Vinification

Maceration:

  • maceration and vinification take 2 to 3 weeks
  • indigenous yeasts
  • maceration and fermentation temperatures under total control.

Joseph Drouhin seeks total control of the process of extraction; extraction gives colour and substance but should never be detrimental to the finesse and typical character of the wine.

Ageing

Type: in barrels (20% in new oak)

Length: 14 to 18 months

Origin of the wood: French oak forests

Weathering of the wood: Joseph Drouhin insists on total control of the weathering for a period of 3 years, one of the contributing elements to the elegance of the wine.

Throughout the ageing process, decisions are taken only after careful tasting evaluation, barrel by barrel. The data obtained is then 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.
