"This is a wine with a very sweet, perfumed nose, with a slight touch of wood in the integration phase that marks the fruit. The palate is full-bodied, warm and deep, with supple tannins and a persistent finish". (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated (2018 guide) 15.5/20 (Very good wine)
About the wine:
Produced from grape purchase contracts over three supplies, this is a wine with a very sweet, fragrant nose, with a slight touch of wood in the integration phase that marks the fruit. The palate is full-bodied, warm and deep, with supple tannins and a lingering finish.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (2022 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of 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.
