For the last 140 years, Maison Joseph Drouhin has been in the hands of the Drouhin family. Today, the fourth generation is at the helm, motivated by the same passion that inspired the founder of the company. Producing close to 90 different appellations, Joseph Drouhin offers a fascinating array of Burgundy terroirs in all their authenticity and subtle variations, accentuated by their farming and growing practices. Joseph Drouhin has adopted the organic and biodynamic approach. Only natural products are used in the vineyards and all procedures show the utmost respect for the soil, the vine and the environment.   

The style of Joseph Drouhin is an alliance between character, balance and harmony. Wines meant to be drunk young are fresh and subtle; wines meant for keeping acquire with age a luscious complexity. The wines of Joseph Drouhin are found on the finest tables and wine lists in the world. This Bourgogne rouge is a wine full of charm and delicious layers of red fruits like raspberry, red currants and wild strawberry. On the palate, the wine is so charming and energetic with smooth tannins and the Drouhin's signature elegance.

As a Chablis specialist, the Drouhin family intimately knows Chablis, perhaps more than any others. Les Clos  is a great and noble white wine, that clearly expresses the terroir of Chablis. The color is pale gold yellow, with greenish hints. Refined nose, with aromas of lily (« fleur de lys »), honey or preserved lemon. Astounding depth and velvety sensation (gras) on the palate, with some delicate marine nuances. Intense and long aftertaste. After 5 or 6 years, even more complex and subtle aromas develop in the wine. A wine of incomparable finesse.
