✨ Technical Specifications
Maison Joseph Drouhin, established in 1880, brings its signature Burgundian elegance to the festive tradition of Beaujolais Nouveau. Crafted entirely from the Gamay grape grown in the granite-rich soils of the Beaujolais region, this wine is produced using traditional semi-carbonic maceration to capture the ultimate expression of fresh, vibrant fruit. Historically, Beaujolais Nouveau was a simple local wine celebrating the end of the harvest, but it evolved into a global phenomenon on the third Thursday of November. Drouhin's rendition is celebrated for its purity, eschewing heavy-handed industrial techniques to deliver a joyful, aromatic profile bursting with red berries, wildflowers, and a hint of spice, embodying the true spirit of the harvest celebration.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1880 by Joseph Drouhin, Maison Joseph Drouhin is an iconic Burgundian estate headquartered in the historic heart of Beaune, France. Under the continuous stewardship of the Drouhin family across four generations, the domaine has expanded its holdings across premier appellations spanning the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Chablis, and Oregon's Willamette Valley. Dedicated to certified organic and biodynamic viticulture, their winemaking philosophy prioritizes natural balance, purity, and the unadorned expression of individual terroirs. The house is globally celebrated for its benchmark Pinot Noir and Chardonnay bottlings, notably the legendary Beaune Premier Cru Clos des Mouches and Montrachet Grand Cru Marquis de Laguiche.
