Tasting Notes
92-95 points: A little fuller yellow, still bright and fresh, and certainly a greater depth of fruit on the palate, and you cannot discern the 30% wood here. It just serves to fill out the palate a little bit more than if all had been made in tank. Those stones! Despite the weight this remains remarkably pure, classic and very persistent. Ripe grapes picked at the right moment. 13.62% alcohol. Tasted: July 2020 - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
The Droin family has been collecting small holdings in all the top premier and grand cru Chablis vineyards since 1620. Over the last 400 years they have played an important role in shaping Chablis' wine production and local politics throughout their existence. Jean-Paul was one of the first to introduce oak aging to the region in the 1980s, a transformative innovation. In 1999Benoît, Jean-Paul's son, took over as winemaker and the domaine has since flourished. His meticulous vineyard management with severely restricted yields and careful élevage of the individual cuvees afford the attention to detail required for greatness. Benoît's artistry in the winery and careful stewardship of their outstanding collection of small vineyards has long ago elevated the family domaine to the very top of the Chablis tree. The Droin style is one of purity and transparency, coupled with powerful concentration and deep minerality. - Importer Note
