Winemaker:Domaine Drouhin-Laroze
The Tre`s Girard vineyard is near Morey’s restaurant of the same name. “We forgot to say Stop to the whole bunches, in 2017,” admits winemaker Nicolas Drouhin, so 90% went into that wine – which proved to be lovely. He adds: “That was an accident, now it’s a tradition!” – with 50% being included in the 2021. Medium-deep, ruby purple in colour, this has freshly spicy aromas. Palate has luscious body, with well-balanced structure and fine fruitiness (for drinking 2024-2030+).

Winemaker
Domaine Drouhin-Laroze
This long-established Domaine has magnificent vineyard-holdings in the northern Côte de Nuits, with many First Growths, and also no less than six of the greatest Grands Crus. The barrels age in perfect conditions of humidity and temperature in underground, two-storied cellars which date back to construction after Waterloo, around 1825. Many subtle improvements were introduced here as Philippe Drouhin took over from his father Bernard. Now we are witnessing a second generational change, as Philippe and his wife Christine encourage their well-qualified children Nicolas and Caroline to take over the reins. In the past, all grape-bunches were de-stemmed, but now different proportions of whole clusters are being added to certain Cuvées. From village-level offerings up to the rarest Grands Crus, these wines offer superb quality across the range.
