Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses Joseph Drouhin 2020 75CL
With 80 hectares, Domaine Joseph Drouhin is one of the largest in the region. It is distributed throughout Burgundy: Chablis (38 hectares), Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, (38.5 hectares), Côte Chalonnaise (3.5 hectares), and comprises a majority of Grands Crus and Premiers Crus, planted of the two Burgundy grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Location: Located on the right bank of the Serein, above the Grands Crus Bougros de Chablis, this plot, replanted in 2007, extends over a gently sloping hillside overlooking the surrounding climates, benefiting from an ideal southwest exposure .
History & traditions: In the 1960s, at a time when the Chablis vineyards were in decline, Robert Drouhin had faith in the potential of this soil which had been ravaged a century earlier by phylloxera. He was among the first Burgundian owners to promote this terroir, producing authentic wines reflecting their geographical origin.
Type of soil: “Kimmeridgian” limestone soil contains billions of marine microfossils in a whitish cement, testifying to its oceanic past several hundred million years old. This marine origin gives Chablis wines a distinct and inimitable flavor.
A very nice wine to discover for your aperitifs with friends.

The Chablis vineyard is one of the oldest in France. Over time and all over the world, its white wines, made from the Chardonnay grape variety, have acquired an extraordinary reputation. Distributed on both sides of the “Le Serein” river, the appellation's vines extend over 17 communes. The unique character of the wines is given by the soil, essentially of the “Kimmeridgian” type where sediments composed in particular of large quantities of small fossil ostrea virgula oysters were deposited.
MEURSAULT 1ER CRU GOLD DROP DOMAIN HENRI DARNAT 2018
It is in 2000 that Mr. DARNAT took back with his wife the domain exploited by his family since the middle of the 19eme century.
And it is together that they are at the service of their land and their wines. As worthy successors of their ancestors, the vines are worked by hand, without chemical fertilizers or weedkillers.
Nothing like a good plowing that keeps the soil alive and healthy, and that's why the word terroir makes sense.
Each plot, according to its terroir, its climate, its exposure, gives the wines subtle and different aromas. And it is this diversity, preserved by dynamic soils, so typical of Burgundy, that makes Chardonnay and Pinot so tasty.
The vinification philosophy is that of common sense and patience. Common sense and patience is the courage to wait ...
Wait until the grapes are ripe before harvesting them, even if the weather is scary…?
Wait, let the wine be done, at its own pace, in its cask, do not rush it, let it live and grow to be at its peak on our tables ...
To wait is the experience ...
To wait, it is frequent and thorough tastings of casks ...
To wait is the joy of finally being able to taste them ...
After a scientific training in biology, his winegrowing history begins with the chance of encounters, according to the internships and the various jobs he has held. Frédéric LEPRINCE knew that one day he would have a business of his own, but first he had to learn, discover, observe and do.
For about twenty years, he discovered all the facets of the profession. Vineyard work in Beaujolais vintages, the art of Bordeaux blend, purchase of grapes and vinification from great terroirs in Burgundy ... all these moments will be decisive in that each will bring their stone to their House, step by step.
Still marked by their spirit and their know-how, here are some decisive meetings of its first life.
Frédéric LEPRINCE settled for ten years in Nantoux, a small wine-growing village in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, where he had the chance to buy an old farmhouse, a heritage witness to a time not so distant 'we lived in near autarky in the heights. A barn transformed into a cellar, a cool cellar which was no doubt used to store vegetables, an old bread oven that warms the body and provides a little comfort after a hard day of harvesting ...
