✨ Technical Specifications
The Montrachet Grand Cru 'Marquis de Laguiche' is one of Burgundy's most legendary white wines, representing an extraordinary partnership that dates back to 1947. The Laguiche family, owners of the largest parcel of the famed Montrachet vineyard since 1363, entrusted the cultivation, vinification, and distribution of their precious vines exclusively to Maison Joseph Drouhin. Located on the Puligny-Montrachet side of the slope, this exceptional terroir features optimal sun exposure and complex limestone soils that yield Chardonnay of unparalleled depth and elegance. Drouhin vinifies this masterpiece with utmost respect for tradition, utilizing gentle pressing and aging in French oak barrels to preserve the pure, majestic expression of the terroir. The resulting wine is renowned for its sublime complexity, balancing rich textures of white peach, hazelnut, and honey with a precise, mineral-driven acidity.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in Beaune in 1880 by Joseph Drouhin, Maison Joseph Drouhin stands as one of Burgundy's preeminent family-owned wine houses. Guided today by the fourth generation—Frédéric, Philippe, Laurent, and head winemaker Véronique Boss-Drouhin—the domaine encompasses approximately 90 to 100 hectares of organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards spanning Chablis, the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise, and the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Drouhin's viticultural identity rests upon limestone-clay terroirs, indigenous yeast fermentations, delicate extraction, and judicious French oak aging. Renowned benchmark expressions include the historic Beaune Premier Cru Clos des Mouches in both rouge and blanc, prestigious Grand Crus like Musigny and Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche, and Chablis Premier and Grand Crus under Domaine Drouhin-Vaudon. Emphasizing finesse, aromatic precision, and crystalline balance over sheer power, Joseph Drouhin represents a classical and enduring touchstone of Burgundian winemaking.
