Drouhin Joseph

1999 Drouhin Joseph Vosne-Romanée Les Petits Monts

By on February 28, 2005 #asides

Medium-plus cherry-red colour. The nose starts deep and a little oaky. Given time the oak is replaced by a classic Vosne spice and eventually sweet cappuccino. The palate is first-class, silky, very round, real fat and tight though lovely and complex if slightly backward fruit. Nice acidity helps lengthen the finish. This has gorgeous mouthfeel and despite it’s youth I loved drinking it today. A singleton that forced me to buy some more (the eight bottles I could find!) and of course, before you read this! Grand Cru standard – Vosne Grand Cru at that!

2001 Drouhin Joseph Chablis Reserve de Vaudon

By on February 28, 2003 #asides

An assemblage of parcels from the right bank of the Serein River, between the Montée de Tonnerre and Mont de Milieu. Bright, pale gold colour. A pure sweet nose with a trace of melon and lemon. A lovely ‘zing’ of acidity, mineral and very long. This would make a perfect aperitif, or perhaps as Véronique suggests with oysters! Very good.

Yellowy-gold colour. The nose is subdued, showing some ‘bready’ notes. Palate is fuller, thicker and indeed richer than the Saint Véran. Good acidity with lovely fruit. Nicely long too. A good wine.

1997 Drouhin Joseph Morey St.Denis

Medium ruby, still showing some cherry colour. Nose was subdued, though cherries & cream with a top end of raspberry still evident. Palate is sweet with good acidity and very pretty fruit. No obvious oak influence on the nose or palate here. Though a little astringent in the finish, this passes with food. A nice style about this wine.
