Joseph Drouhin
Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir
Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
First, it's Joseph Drouhin—you can buy anything from this place and you'll be happy. Second, it's Burgundy Pinot—light, playful and bright and pretty much everything California Pinot scene is trying very hard to be. Third—this particular vintage is superb. 2011 from Burgundy is a guaranteed "Yes!".

2011. Pretty wine. Pure delight from start to finish. Fruit, acid, texture, finish -- it's all there. Silky mouthfeel leaves you wanting more.

Jul 28th, 2016Mmm... The 2011 proves it all the more worthwhile -thank you Drouhin family! Yours is a marvelous glimpse into true terroir through elegant restraint.

Nice combination of earthiness and cherry/cranberry. Palette is very nice, velvety, and a clean finish.

Not as brilliant as it could be but pleasant color nonetheless (veering towards brown). Nose has fantastic balance of earthy and berry notes. Pallet is delicious, smooth and great flavors. I wish the finish lingered a little longer. Still, perfect Saturday evening at home wine for two
