93 Points, Jasper Morris
20% whole bunch vinification. Impressively rich purple, the nose is luscious yet not unbalanced. This luxurious style continues across the palate, yet fresh at the finish, a plentiful mouthful, which has maintained its balance with correct acidity and tannins.
93 Points, Wine Spectator
This red is dense, chunky and ripe, packed with plum, blackberry, boysenberry and rose flavors, accented by spice and earth. Rigid finish, with the tannins taking over for now as this winds down, yet the lasting impression is sweet, ripe fruit. Best from 2026.
Joseph Drouhin is an iconic Burgundy producer with a rich history in the region. Founded in 1880, the family-owned estate has been producing high-quality wines for generations. They own vineyards in prestigious regions like Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Côte Chalonnaise.
Occupying vineyards to the west and south of the village of Mâcon, the appellation of St-Véran interweaves with Pouilly-Fuissé, overlapping both the Mâconnais and Beaujolais. St-Véran includes a lot of what was once sold as Beaujolais Blanc. Grown on limestone, St-Véran whites’ ageability and power fall somewhere in between the wines of Mâcon-Villages and Pouilly-Fuissé.
Of course, when you have the winemaking team that Drouhin has, the unmatched technological advancements and the vineyard locations that they do, its no wonder that the team here is able to create a show-stopping wine and unrivaled value.
