Joseph Drouhin, Santenay, 2022

$60.00

Joseph Drouhin is known for producing Burgundy that emphasizes balance, clarity, and a strong sense of place. Santenay, at the southern end of the Côte de Beaune, is prized for Pinot Noir that combines structure with freshness, shaped by limestone and marl soils and slightly warmer exposures. Drouhin’s approach here favors finesse over extraction, allowing the character of the village to come through with ease.

The 2022 vintage is expressive and composed, offering red cherry, raspberry, and hints of wild strawberry, supported by subtle floral notes and a gentle earthy undertone. The palate is supple and well-defined, with fresh acidity and fine tannins that provide shape without heaviness. The finish is clean and balanced, making this a versatile, food-friendly expression of Côte de Beaune Pinot Noir.

Varietal: Pinot Noir
Appellation: Santenay, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Farming: Sustainably farmed; organic and biodynamic practices
