Gevrey-Chambertin Joseph Drouhin 2017

Supple and elegant on the palate, this Gevrey shows flavours of red cherry, raspberry, and cranberry wrapped in fine-grained tannins, with a touch of spice and earth. Aromas of fresh berries, violet, and subtle forest floor rise from the glass, while its translucent ruby hue highlights the vintage’s finesse. The finish is long, lifted, and savoury, balancing fruit purity with mineral freshness.

Joseph Drouhin, one of Burgundy’s leading family domaines, is renowned for crafting wines that emphasise finesse and terroir transparency. Gevrey-Chambertin, the northernmost of the Côte de Nuits’ great villages, is prized for Pinot Noir of structure and depth, yet in the 2017 vintage the wines lean toward charm and accessibility. This cuvée captures that balance — approachable in youth yet carrying the village’s hallmark backbone, offering a graceful interpretation of Gevrey’s power.
