The House of Joseph Drouhin is run by Joseph's four grand children, born between 1961 and 1968. They grew up practically in the vineyards and cellars. They have acquired their knowledge with their father Robert Drouhin at their side. Each one has his or her role to play and each shares the same passion for vine and wine. From vintage to vintage, they perpetuate the tradition and do not shy away from innovation in their search for elegance and perfection, the hallmark of Maison Joseph Drouhin.
The House cherishes an ideal of elegance and perfection. The "Joseph Drouhin style" marries balance, harmony, finesse and character. This combination of riches provides infinite pleasure.
The wines are recognizable for their great purity of taste. Young, they possess fruity and enticing aromas; with age, wines from great vineyards/appellations acquire a sumptuous complexity.
Some wines are able to age forty years or more. They then become true masterpieces of harmony and excellence, graced by the most entrancing kaleidoscope of aromas.
From vine to glass: a succession of rigorous decisions at every step. Four Drouhin generations have learned how to carefully observe the land, the vine, the grape, humbly drawing lessons from every detail. The methods used bring together experience and innovation.
"The Burgundian terroir expresses itself through the vine: our role is to translate and reveal its most subtle messages". Every effort is made to respect this terroir in all its diversity.
At each step in the elaboration of a wine, a strict technical control gives the finishing touch to the actual tasting. Every single detail is important.
"We were one of the first Houses in Burgundy to apply bar codes for identification on the barrels in order to ensure total traceability of our wines."".
"We stamp each cork with the name of Joseph Drouhin, the appellation and the vintage, in order to guarantee the authenticity of the wine".
"We refuse to commercialize any appellation that does not reach the standards of Joseph Drouhin".
