"A wine of great pleasure!"
"The Pouilly-Vinzelles 2021 has a taut, fresh nose, tinged with petrichor, with notes of pressed flowers, a little more power compared to Drouhin's Mâcon-Lugny. The palate is very well balanced, not too complex, but concentrated with a taut, mineral finish. Excellent. " (Vinous 2023)

Expert opinion
Decanter
Rated area (2021 guide) Recommended
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
The house is now run by Frédéric Drouhin, supported by his sister Véronique for the wines and his brother Philippe in the vineyards. In July 2013, it opened an oenotheque in the heart of Beaune. It has found its cruising speed and is establishing itself as a safe bet. The house relies on a biodynamic vineyard particularly well endowed with great whites, in Côte-de-Beaune but also in Chablis (wines sold under the Drouhin-Vaudon brand), including the famous Clos des Mouches.
