Vintage Character Joseph Drouhin Griottes‑Chambertin Grand Cru 2017 is a refined and expressive Burgundy that marries the delicacy of Pinot Noir with the depth of one of Gevrey’s most prized Grands Crus. The 2017 vintage in Burgundy was warm and relatively dry, with an early harvest that produced wines of aromatic clarity, supple tannins, and immediate charm.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing This wine opens with complex aromas of preserved cherry, raspberry, and floral notes, accented by hints of nutmeg, fine leather, and subtle spice. With age, it develops layers of truffle, venison, and earthy undertones. The palate is medium‑ to full‑bodied, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, mineral‑driven finish that balances richness with finesse. Its elegance and depth make it a superb partner for dishes such as roast duck with orange glaze, braised lamb shank, or a wedge of aged Comté cheese, offering a wine that lingers with both refinement and character.
Winery Background Maison Joseph Drouhin, founded in 1880 in Beaune, is one of Burgundy’s most respected family domaines, renowned for its commitment to elegance, terroir expression, and sustainable viticulture.
Today, the fourth generation of the Drouhin family oversees an estate that spans more than 90 appellations across Burgundy, including prestigious holdings in both the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. The domaine has been a pioneer in organic and biodynamic practices, emphasizing minimal intervention in both vineyard and cellar to allow each terroir to speak with clarity. Griottes‑Chambertin, a tiny Grand Cru vineyard of less than 3 hectares, is among the rarest and most coveted sites in Gevrey‑Chambertin, producing wines of aromatic intensity and graceful structure. Joseph Drouhin’s bottling reflects this philosophy, uniting the natural depth of the terroir with the domaine’s hallmark finesse, making it one of the jewels of their portfolio.
