Your questions, our answers.

Which Joseph Drouhin wine should I choose if I’m looking for a magnum?

The 2017 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches Rouge is the only magnum in this selection, with a capacity of 150 cl. The other five wines are available in 75 cl bottles.

Which appellations can I explore among the Joseph Drouhin whites featured here?

Three appellations are represented among the whites: Coteaux Bourguignons with the 2016 vintage, Montagny with the 2020 vintage, and Mâcon-Lugny with Les Crays 2021. They offer the opportunity to explore several appellations as well as different vintages, so this is not a comparison of wines from the same year.

What appellation levels distinguish the three Joseph Drouhin reds?

The 2020 Bourgogne Laforêt Rouge falls under the regional Bourgogne appellation. The 2017 Beaune Clos des Mouches Rouge is a Premier Cru, while the 2018 Clos de Vougeot is a Grand Cru. This selection therefore allows you to compare three appellation levels, with vintages and formats that also differ.

Which Joseph Drouhin reds would pair well with Bresse chicken with mushrooms or beef bourguignon?

Both dishes are among the recommended pairings for the house’s reds, which are described as silky, with delicate tannins. You could therefore choose the 2020 Bourgogne Laforêt, the 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, or the 2017 Beaune Clos des Mouches, which is available in a magnum.
