The Vosne-Romanée Joseph Drouhin 2016 is a distinct representation of Burgundy, crafted from 100% Pinot Noir grapes sourced from select plots within the esteemed Vosne-Romanée Appellation. Joseph Drouhin, a historically significant négociant-éleveur since 1880, is known for its commitment to biodynamic viticulture and meticulous vineyard management. The 2016 vintage was marked by challenging weather, including spring frosts, which led to lower yields but gifted the remaining grapes with vibrant freshness. Expect aromas of red berries, floral notes, and hints of earth, alongside a structured palate showcasing refined tannins and bright acidity. This wine exhibits the hallmark characteristics of the Vosne-Romanée terroir, promising suitability for ageing.

Vinous
Bright medium red. Expressive aromas of black raspberry, menthol and minerals are complicated by a note of dark chocolate. Riper and suppler than the Chambolle villages, conveying a more open-knit texture and lovely sucrosité to its black raspberry and spice flavors. Finishes with finer, more horizontal tannins than the Chambolle. Faure-Brac vinified this wine with just 20% whole clusters but it does not lack for energy. A very good example of a relaxed 2016 made without frost influence.
