Domaine Joseph Drouhin is a distinguished name in Burgundy's winemaking scene, known for its exceptional quality and rich heritage. Spanning 73 hectares across Burgundy, the winery's largest holdings are in Chablis, with 38 hectares dedicated to this prestigious region. Additionally, it manages 32 hectares in Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, with the remainder in the Côte Chalonnaise appellation. This diverse terroir allows Domaine Joseph Drouhin to craft a wide array of wines, including Pouilly-Fuissé, Beaujolais Nouveau, and Givry. Notably, the Pinot Noir from this region has been favored by historical figures, including Henry IV of France.
Founded in 1880, the winery is now operated by the fourth generation of the Drouhin family. The four grandchildren of Joseph Drouhin, along with their father Robert, are dedicated to maintaining the winery's legacy. Each family member plays a vital role: Laurent oversees marketing in the United States and the Caribbean, Véronique serves as the Head Winemaker, Philippe manages the estate, and Frédéric leads the Executive Board, guiding the winery's strategic direction.
The Domaine is home to the Moulin de Vaudon, an 18th-century watermill located near the Chablis Grand Cru vineyards, which serves as the hub for Chablis winemaking. Additionally, the winery boasts cellars in the historic part of Beaune, including those beneath the collegiate church, where some of the finest wines are aged to perfection.

A visit you should make at least once in your life. A welcome of rare elegance and generosity! A reflection of the excellence of the wines of this extraordinary family. With whom I fell in love since my internship in Oregon.

Very interesting visit to the cellars, with an enthusiastic girl who made us taste 6 very good wines. They explain well and in a very engaging way both the origin of the wines and their particularities. A must-see if you are interested in Burgundy wine.
