Joseph Drouhin Macon Villages 2021

Domaine Drouhin’s holdings extend from Burgundy’s most northerly vineyards of Chablis to the Southern reaches of the Macconais. They are one of a handful of negociants who make wine from every one of Burgundy’s villages, and every wine they make is two things; at once an unmistakable example of the local terroir, and unmistakably Drouhin. The house was an early convert to the virtues of organic viticulture, and a major driver in Burgundy’s ongoing transition, but the house has always insisted on the highest quality fruit, a necessary ingredient for their unadorned style. In the Chardonnays there is a freshness, a lightly creamy touch, and a vivid note of salty minerality at the core.
