Winemaker Notes
The 2016 Joseph Drouhin Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru displays a deep ruby hue in the glass. Stemming from a tiny-yield harvest, the nose opens with an alluring array of crushed wild strawberry, black cherry, and orange peel alongside complex notes of dark cocoa, dried herbs, and a touch of gamey earthiness. On the palate, it exhibits a lush, sappy, and velvety mid-palate balanced by racy, energetic acidity—giving it a bright lightness despite its density. Well-delineated red berry and spice flavors are framed by silky, polished tannins that carry into a long, mineral-inflected, and subtly saline finish.
About Winery
Maison Joseph Drouhin was founded in 1880 in Beaune, Burgundy, by Joseph Drouhin, and has since grown into one of the region’s most respected wine producers. Over the generations, the family expanded its holdings to include vineyards across Burgundy—such as Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Côte Chalonnaise—and later established Domaine Drouhin Oregon in the Willamette Valley. Today, the estate remains family-run by Joseph’s great-grandchildren, who continue the tradition of producing elegant wines with a focus on terroir and sustainable practices, including organic certification for their Burgundy vineyards since 2009
