Founded in 1880, Maison Joseph Drouhin is one of Burgundy’s most prestigious family-owned houses. Now led by the fourth generation, the estate is defined by a signature style of effortless elegance. Their 100-hectare domain is farmed entirely using organic and biodynamic practices, spanning the region's most iconic Grand Cru and Premier Cru plots. From the legendary Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche to their accessible regional classics, Drouhin wines are celebrated for their purity, finesse, and true terroir character. The Côte de Beaune Blanc is crafted from declassified young vines within Drouhin’s prestigious Premier Cru vineyards, including the iconic Clos des Mouches. Fresh and aromatic, this vibrant white offers an inviting medley of lemon zest and crisp green apple, underpinned by undertones of white flowers and fresh almond. Aged 12–14 months in French oak with 10–15% new oak, it blends a supple, round texture with a stony, saline-driven finish that provides excellent lift. A rare find that punches far above its weight and offers a unique window into Burgundy’s Premier Cru terroirs at a village-level classification.

Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses thrives on a south-west facing slope, distinguishing itself among Grands Crus. The blend of marl and Kimmeridgian chalk soils imbues deep roots, nurturing vines that flourish in this unique terroir. Delicate floral aromas intertwine with subtle citrus notes, while a distinct mineral backbone speaks of its prestigious origins. With cellar aging, this wine evolves harmoniously, balancing generous complexity with enduring finesse.

The harvest began very early, on the 5th September, and lasted 9 weeks. This made is possible to reflect all the diversity of a year in which both flowering and veraison were very spread out. Picking began especially early at Yquem in 2014. Some 25% of the crop was brought in before the 15th of September, providing a rare and precious background of acidity.
