Winemaker Notes

Harvest started on September 6th and will continue till the end of the month, depending on elevation and even more on the yield of the vines. Where the vines had low yield, the sugar content is good and sometimes excellent. On the other hand, where there is excess yield or where the vine was attacked by mildew or hail, the phenolic maturity is not perfect. At this stage, the acid content in the juice seems to be slightly high but as it is mainly tartaric acid, it should drop back to a more normal level by the end of the fermentation. Sugar content is normal without any excess. There is an intense aromatic expression, much more in evidence than in past years. This is probably due to the good acidity level and to the cool temperatures at the time of the harvest, since it improves the extraction of primary aromas. Once more, we can say that conditions are heterogeneous : a careful selection will be key and we are confident that it will be reflected in the quality of our wines. It is too early to know the characteristics of the Crus (Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent and so on). The good Beaujolais Nouveaux will have a lot of fruit and should have good colour. They will be delicious to drink.

Since 1880, Maison Joseph Drouhin has built a reputation for wines that primarily reflect their individual terroir and vintage. Faithfully preserving the individuality of each appellation, the Drouhin firm constantly strives for wines of breed, finesse and elegance.

A balance of tradition and modern techniques characterizes Joseph Drouhin winemaking and vineyard management: on site nursery, plowing, leaf removal, 100% hand harvesting, open fermenters, fermenting and aging in oak.

As a result of its historic location deep in the heart of Beaune, the quality of its vineyards and the expertise resulting from years of experience in the cultivation of vines and traditional vinification, Maison Joseph Drouhin is uniquely placed to uphold authentic Burgundian style.

Starting with Joseph Drouhin, who founded Maison Joseph Drouhin over a century ago, a great estate has evolved with important holdings in Côte de Beaune, Côte de Nuits, Chablis and, most recently, Oregon.

MAISON JOSEPH DROUHIN AWARDED ORGANIC CERTIFICATION Estate-grown Grapes of 2009 Vintage and later Now Officially Organic. Twenty years after Philippe Drouhin first began introducing organic practices to the vineyards making up the family company’s domaine (estate), Maison Joseph Drouhin (MJD), has been awarded organic certification for all grapes grown within its vineyards beginning with the 2009 vintage.
