Region
The Côte de Nuits follows a narrow strip of red iron-rich soils that run the short distance south from Dijon to the town of Nuits St Georges and ends before the hill of Corton. It is perhaps the source of the greatest and most elusive Pinot Noir wines of Burgundy. To travel through this northern half of the Côte d`Or evokes a role call of great vineyard names; Gevrey, Vosne Romanée, Clos de Vougeot, Musigny, Nuits St Georges and more.
Producer
The ancient cellars of Drouhin are located in the heart of the city of Beaune. The domaine was founded in 1880 and is still a family business, headed by Robert Douhin, grandson of the founder, Joseph Drouhin.
