Red Wine: 2007 | Joseph Drouhin | Chorey-les-Beaune

A very pleasant wine. Bright, clear red color. Aromas are surprising in their intensity and fruit. On the palate, a tender, supple, graceful, round body. Very flavorful in the aftertaste, with a hint of blackberry jam. When the wine gets older, wild blackberry is the dominant aroma.

Reviews:

• Wine Critic: A very pleasant wine. Bright, clear red colour. Aromas are surprising in their intensity and fruit. On the palate, a tender, supple, graceful, round body. Very flavourful in the aftertaste, with a hint of blackberry jam. When the wine gets older, wild blackberry is the dominant aroma. After 3 or 5 years, the wine takes on a distinctive smell of truffle and undergrowth evolving towards notes of venison”.

• Wine Advocate: The Drouhin’s excellent value 2007 Chorey-les-Beaune displays sweetly ripe cherry with hints of nut oils, brown spices, peat, and chalk. Richer than its 2008 counterpart though less bright, it nevertheless preserves a sense of interactive complexity and length you would not expect for the price.

Producer Information

Joseph Drouhin is one of Burgundy’s most important wine producers. Founded in Beaune in 1880, the domaine has expanded throughout the 20th Century to include vineyards in Chablis, the Côte de Nuits, the Côte de Beaune and the Côte Chalonnaise, making everything from simple, village-level cuvées to highly priced grand cru and premier cru wines from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The domaine was started by the eponymous Drouhin, who established the company’s headquarters in the city of Beaune in the late 19th Century. His son, Maurice, began to acquire vineyards in the early 20th Century, starting with the now-iconic Clos des Mouches vineyard. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s Joseph Drouhin began to expand its land holdings in Chablis and, in 1988, the domaine established a vineyard in Oregon, in the United States. Domaine Joseph Drouhin makes several grand cru wines in the Côte d’Or and in Chablis, including ones from Musigny, Corton-Charlemagne and Les Clos, as well as the Marquis de Laguiche Montrachet Grand Cru. It also has land in some of the Côte d’Or’s most famous premier cru vineyards, including Chambolle-Musigny’s Les Amoureuses vineyard and in Beaune’s Clos des Mouches. Joseph Drouhin makes a range of village-level and regional wines. Grapes for these are sourced from growers in the area, as well as from the domaine’s own vineyards.
