Winemaker Notes
2021 Joseph Drouhin Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is a highly precise and beautifully tense expression of a historically low-yielding, cooler vintage. In the glass, it shows an attractive pale golden color, opening on the nose with an effervescent mix of citrus fruit, white peach, fresh almond, and a touch of chamomile. True to the 2021 vintage profile, the palate is more linear, focused, and driven by a strong mineral tension rather than opulent weight. It cuts a very straight, structured line across the tongue with lively acidity and a salty edge, leaving a beautifully persistent, complex finish that will need a few years of bottle age to fully expand and reveal its true depth.
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
