Founded in Beaune in 1880, the Joseph Drouhin house is now run by the four children of Robert Drouhin. Present throughout Burgundy, but also in the United States in Oregon, its reputation is worldwide. It also has a domain of its own, including a vineyard of 72 hectares.

Domaine Joseph Drouhin was founded in 1880 in Beaune, and is now managed by Robert Drouhin. This is a property with global renown. The Pommard premier cru Les Epenots is made from Pinot Noir grown in chalk-clay soil. Vinification takes two to three weeks and the juice is fermented by indigenous yeasts. The wine is then matured for 14-18 months in oak casks (20% new wood). In the glass, this Pommard has a deep, ruby hue. It has a complex and intense nose of red fruits, violet and liquorice. The palate is frank with a rounded finish that lingers impressively. A powerful and silky wine with good structure and excellent ageing potential. In terms of food pairings, think something classic like a beef bourguignon or veal.
