  • Bourgogne Chardonnay 2016
    Bourgogne Chardonnay 2016 Grape Variety : Chardonnay Vineyard Site: Bourgogne white is made with the Chardonnay grape coming from the whole of Burgundy. It is often the entry level wine leading to the great white Burgundies: to drink it provides the simple pleasures of a classic Burgundy. History & tradition: Joseph Drouhin takes great care in selecting the various cuvées. Soil: clay and limestone. Viticulture Plantation density: 10,000 vine stocks/hectare. Pruning: Guyot. Yield: 61 hl/ha, purposely low in order to extract all possible nuances from the terroir. Vinification Supply: grapes and wine purchased from regular suppliers. Press: pneumatic press. "Débourbage": decanting of white wine to reduce sediment. Ageing Stainless-steel vats (7 to 8 months). One to two year old barrels for the wines of higher provenance. Throughout the ageing process, decisions are taken only after careful tasting evaluation. The data obtained is then completed through technical analysis. As with every other Joseph Drouhin wine, absolute priority is given to the true expression of terroir and character of the vintage. Tasting note by Véronique Boss-Drouhin "Fruity and full of life. This is a classical white Burgundy and a good entry level wine for Burgundy in general. The colour is golden yellow, with a greenish glint. The aromas are reminiscent of fresh grape and green almond. Elegant texture". Vintage This vintage produced wines of various styles, some with a rather high acidity level, others offering roundness. The main factor has been the frost. The vines hit by this severe spring frost very often matured later, giving fairly nervous wines, whereas the plots spared by frost reached a more precocious maturity.

Drouhin had first visited the Wil- lamette Valley in 1961, found the climate very similar to Burgundy, and was setting up a winery in the Red Hills of Dundee. He wanted to buy grapes from neighbors to tide him over until his own vines came into pro- duction. The first thing he told Casteel was to drop a ton of fruit on the ground. Casteel was producing about four tons on an acre at the time, but he followed the advice. Drouhin bought the grapes, and made a $30 Pinot Noir that garnered worldwide praise. Drouhin purchased a 225-acre estate on the crown of the Red Hills oppo- site Hilltop Road and overlooking the town of Dundee. He asked his then 25-year-old daughter, Veronique, to take charge.

Vinification Maceration and vinification take 2 to 3 weeks: indigenous yeastsmaceration and fermentation temperatures under total control.Composed like a perfume. Véronique Drouhin and the blend of LaForêt. "We have a good palette of aromas and flavours. My Pinots Noirs come from the Côte Chalonnaise for the elegance and the north of the Côte de Nuits for depth. With the structure of this blend, LaForêt is a faithful wine, and we rediscover these traits from year to year". Joseph Drouhin seeks total control of the process of extraction; extraction gives colour and substance to a wine but should never be detrimental to its finesse and typical character. Ageing Stainless-steel vats (7 to 8 months). One to two-year old barrels for the wines of higher provenance. Part of the wine is aged in oak barrels, and that changes a lot. Why? Because the marriage with oxygen happens more gently (as said by Véronique Drouhin!). Result: the wine is not overly woody but is rich in aromas".
