Closing in on Puligny in its cut and focus, Joseph Drouhin’s 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet delivers cool white orchard fruit, citrus zest and a gentle hint of toast over a finely etched, pure palate. Medium to full in body yet taut and lively, it feels precise rather than plush, with a clean, lingering finish that shows classic village Chassagne character and a touch of earthy grip.

Joseph Drouhin’s Chassagne‑Montrachet is the house’s village‑level expression from the Côte de Beaune—made as a white (Chardonnay) and a rarer red (Pinot Noir)—that showcases the commune’s complex marl, limestone and clay soils. The white is typically generous and elegant with floral, brioche and candied‑lemon notes that evolve toward toasted hazelnut and spice, while the red shows vivid cherry and berry fruit with fine tannins and a light spicy/earthy lift, all handled with Drouhin’s restrained oak and terroir‑driven approach.
