RATINGS

92-94The Wine Advocate

...blackberry and cassis, touches of iodine...palate is medium-bodied and very harmonious, silky to the touch, with lacy tannin and not a hair out of place on the finish.

90-92Stephen Tanzer

Sexy gamey reduction to the aromas of raspberry and sweet, smoky oak. Plush and pliant but not especially sweet, showing soil-driven flavors of red berries, underbrush and saline minerality. The tannins are fine-grained but this wine is very hard to taste today owing to its reductive character.

PRODUCER

Joseph Drouhin

Maison Joseph Drouhin is one of Burgundy’s most venerable estates. It was founded in 1880 by Joseph Drouhin, who bought a 100-year old negociant business and began acquiring parcels in such legendary appellations as Clos des Mouches and Clos de Vougeot. By the mid-20th century the 148-acre estate was being run by Robert Drouhin, who continued to acquire vineyards and improve the quality of the wine. (Robert also purchased 100 acres in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, where his daughter makes Oregon Pinot Noirs under the Domaine Drouhin label.) The maison makes Grand Cru, Premier Cru and villages wines in Chablis, Cote de Nuits, Cote de Beaune, Cote Chalonnaise, Maconnais and Beaujolais. Noted Burgundy expert Clive Coates has called the maison “one of the most perfectionist” of the Burgundy producers, and Robert M. Parker Jr. notes that Drouhin’s wines “are among the very best of the modern style of red and white Burgundies.”

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanee, Les Petits Monts

Les Petits Monts is a 9-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Vosne-Romanee appellation of Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. This small vineyard is divided up into about 20 individually-owned parcels.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
