Beaune 1er Cru 'Champimonts', Joseph Drouhin
Elegant, ruby-coloured wine with red berry aromas that evolve to subtle clove and smoky notes. Supple tannins and balanced acidity lead to a long, refined finish. The vineyards, some bordered by ancient stone walls and paths, have origins dating back to Gallo-Roman cultivation, with records from the early 19th century referencing the “fields of Mr. Pimonts" which translates to Champimont

Joseph Drouhin
Founded in Beaune in 1880, Maison Joseph Drouhin's cellars have spread from the historical Cellars of the Dukes of Burgundy and the Kings of France in Beaune (12th-18th centuries) to the Moulin de Vaudon, an 18th Century watermill in Chablis.
A rigorous attention to detail, self-imposed discipline, a desire to learn, a rigorous sense of values, passion and daring, are the qualities that have been handed down through the generations, together with the art of winemaking and a never ending search for quality.
With its 73 hectares (182.5 acres), the Joseph Drouhin Domaine is one of the largest estates in the region. It owns vineyards in all of Burgundy: Chablis, Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise. It is comprised of a majority of Premier and Grand Crus, planted with the two Burgundian grape varietals, pinot noir and chardonnay.
