Product Notes

Joseph Drouhin Nuits-Saint-Georges is a premium red Burgundy wine that is produced in the heart of the prestigious Côte de Nuits wine district in France. This wine is made from a blend of Pinot Noir grapes grown in select vineyards in the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation, which is renowned for its quality and complexity. The wine is matured in oak barrels for 12-15 months, giving it a rich and complex flavor profile that is characterized by ripe cherry and blackberry fruit notes, complemented by subtle hints of spice and vanilla. It has a deep ruby color and a smooth, silky texture, making it an ideal wine to pair with hearty meat dishes or strong cheeses.

Tasting Notes

Deep red colour. The aromas are powerful and elegant, with notes of cherry and blackberry, as well as hints of cedar wood evolving towards gamey touches. On the palate: beautiful balance between structure and softness. The long aftertaste is reminiscent of fruit syrups and mild spices.

About the Winery

If you are looking to taste the best of wines from the Burgundy region, you have to try wines from the French wine label, Joseph Drouhin. The vines are grown on 90 appellations located across some of the richest terroirs in Burgundy here. Started 140 years ago, this wine label is run by the fourth generation of the Drouhin family with the same amount of dedication and passion as before.

The Joseph Drouhin Domaine is considered as one of the largest wine estates in Burgundy. Currently, the estate comprises of 80 hectares of vineyards located in all the wine-rich areas of Burgundy. Out of these 80, 38 are found in Chablis, 38.5 hectares are found in Cote de Nuits and Cote de Beaune and 3.5 hectares are found in Cote Chalonnaise. A grand, 18th-century watermill, the property of Joseph Drouhin, is regarded as the headquarters of the premium Drouhin Domaine in Chablis.

The two famous Burgundy grape varietals of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are grown in these vineyards. The estates are neatly classified into Premier and Grand Cru. Apart from growing their own grapes, Joseph Drouhin also buys grapes from other wine-growers, who are their long-standing partners. In 2008, this label created the historic “Chablis Wines,” which speak volumes about the wine’s richness and elegance of Burgundy wines.

At this estate, organic and biodynamic winemaking practices are followed, to ensure that the wine reflects the true character of the terroirs where they are grown. No synthetic products are used in the vineyards here. Instead, natural predators and herb infusions are used to process the grapes naturally. At the vineyards of this estate, vines are planted densely. Close to 5000 vines are planted per acre, so that the plants get the maximum benefits of each type of soil where they are grown.
