“Both colours are very good chez Drouhin this year, with the whites being arguably the best range I have ever seen from the Drouhin team.” Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com

Pretty pale lemon. A clean nose with generous fruit, properly Meursault, broadening nicely across the palate, with a generosity of finish and well-balanced oak. Again, the length of flavour is notable, an evident quality in the Drouhin 2020 white wines.

Pale lemon colour. The power is immediately apparent on the nose, but in a good way. A wine for longer elevage before bottling and then worth the wait in bottle thereafter. This has all the expected volume of white fruit while retaining impeccable balance. Adds depth with time in the glass, before reaching quite a saline finish. A very youthful but impressive Clos des Mouches. I recently enjoyed a stunning bottle of the 2017, and this could very well match it in due course.

Full bright youthful purple. This is really intense but pure and the fruit is fresh. Sweetly oaky, while the juicy dark fruit extends nicely to the back, with moderate tannins and just enough acidity. Far from a blockbuster, but then refinement is what we look for from Drouhin.

2020 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru, Joseph Drouhin

The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru wafts from the glass with aromas of cherries, raspberries, smoke and spices. Medium to full-bodied, lively and seamless, with powdery tannins, bright acids and a long, saline finish, it's always a fine cuvée chez Drouhin.

The 2020 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru bursts from the glass with rich aromas of cherries, cassis, rich spices, loamy soil, rose petals and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, ample and velvety, it's fleshy and multidimensional, with lively acids, notable depth at the core and a long, resonant finish.
