Winemaker Notes
The 2021 Joseph Drouhin Côte de Beaune-Villages Rouge is a classic, fruit-driven expression of a warm, sunny vintage that brought excellent concentration and structure to Burgundy’s reds. Pouring a vibrant, intense ruby-purple hue, the wine opens with an expressive and welcoming nose defined by succulent red cherry, wild raspberry, and a delicate touch of undergrowth, violet, and soft licorice spice. On the palate, the influence of the 2020 growing season is instantly clear; it reveals a fleshy, juicy texture packed with ripe red berry fruits that carry notable depth. Balanced by a bright vein of natural acidity and framed by refined, ripe tannins, this Pinot Noir maintains a lovely lightness on its feet despite its structural core. It concludes with a medium-long, clean finish accented by a gentle touch of toasty wood and earth, offering a highly elegant and beautifully balanced introduction to the region that is drinking brilliantly now but can easily be cellared over the next three to five years.
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
