Joseph Drouhin Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2021 Bottle size: 750ml
France, Burgundy
R2,050
‘A concentrated, ripe and well-structured Grand Cru Chablis with notes of orange peel and flint. Wonderful balance and a long, very elegant finish. Fermented and matured in 500-liter oak casks and concrete eggs. Drink or hold.’ – James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, 95/100
‘A great wine, perhaps the one most able to express what the terroir of Chablis really is like. The colour is pale gold yellow, with greenish hints. Refined nose, with aromas of lily (fleur de lys), honey or preserved lemon. Astounding depth and velvety sensation (gras) on the palate, with some delicate marine nuances. Intense and long aftertaste. After 5 or 6 years, even more complex and subtle aromas develop in the wine. A wine of incomparable finesse.’ – Winemaker

| Producer information | In 1880, a 22-year-old Joseph Drouhin settled in Beaune and founded his own wine company. His son Maurice succeeded him and established a domaine for the Drouhin house by buying land in outstanding appellations including the famous Clos des Mouches and Clos de Vougeot. Today, 4th generation Véronique Drouhin continues the family's prestigious Burgundy legacy. With 73 hectares of biodynamically-farmed vines, Joseph Drouhin is one of Burgundy's largest estates. With vineyards in close to 90 different appellations, Drouhin offers a fascinating array of Burgundy terroirs. |
