Treat yourself to this bright, lively wine with cherry, raspberry fruit, spicy, savory notes and crisp acidity. It is at home with picnic fare, a juicy burger, chicken roasted or fried. Twenty-two year old Joseph Drouhin moved from the Chablis region in Burgundy to Beaune to establish a wine company in 1880. His son, Maurice, added vineyards for the company. In 1957, Robert Drouhin took over, adding vineyards, building a oenology laboratory and hiring the first woman enologist Laurence Jobard, to run it. Today Joseph Drouhin is one of the largest wine companies in the Burgundy region with 80 hectares (197.5 acres) of vines. They grow their own nursery stock and farm organically and biodynamically, using horses to work the vineyards. As stated on their website “Our credo is to bring natural answers to natural problems."
