Joseph Drouhin ‘Drouhin-Vaudon’ Vaudesir 2021 – Organic
Local Delivery, Store Pickup, Standard Domestic Shipping
$149.99
An exquisite wine often drunk on its own as an aperitif. Pure and limpid colour, with a faint greenish hint. On the nose, fresh aromas of flower and fruit (lemony flavours) and, at times, spicy notes of coriander. On the palate: harmonious aromas bringing character and elegance. The magnitude of its Grand Cru origin and the light salty notes from the Kimmeridgian soil are in evidence. Remarkably long and complex persistence in the aftertaste.
100% Chardonnay./ ABV 13.5%

| Vineyard | Producing commune: Aloxe-Corton. Site: Corton and the other Corton vineyards (among which Corton-Bressandes) are the only red Grand Crus of the Côte de Beaune. They are located on the hill of Corton, clearly visible from miles around and capped by low-growing oak trees. The vines are on a rather steep slope with a good south-east exposure. History & tradition: the name comes from « curtis » (the word for an estate in Gallo-Roman times) and Othon, the Emperor who owned this vineyard. Since the wine travels well, it soon acquired great fame around the world. Bressandes (people from Bresse) probably refer to the people who owned it. Soil: a mixture of clay and small rocks create a well-drained soil where the roots of the pinot noir grape have to dig very deep in order to find water and nutrients. |
| Viticulture | Throughout its 100-hectare (247 acres) estate, Maison Joseph Drouhin has adopted organic viticulture practices since the late 1980s and biodynamic viticulture since the 1990s. Our credo is to provide « natural answers to natural problems ». All our practices show the greatest respect for the soil, the vine, and the environment. Our deliberately low production yields allow our grapes to reveal the precise expression of each terroir. |
| Winemaking | Harvest: grapes harvested by hands in open-work crates. If necessary, a careful sorting is proceeded. Vinification: slow pressing of the whole bunch in a pneumatic press. The juice of the last press is separated of the free run-juice. The juice is transferred to an existing wine barrel (or older) after a little settling. Ageing: the alcoholic fermentation and the ageing is being processed in oak barrels (500 litres, no new barrels) during 12 to 15 months. Throughout the ageing process, decisions are taken only after careful tasting evaluation. The data obtained is completed through technical analysis. As with every other Joseph Drouhin wine, absolute priority is given to the true expression of terroir and character of the vintage. |
