Luxurious, slick, creamy.
Named for the historic Moulin de Vaudon, built in the 18th century, which is the headquarters of Maison Joseph Drouhin, this luxurious Chardonnay comes from estate vines planted in kimmeridgian limestone soils in the valley of Vauvillien; it was aged in stainless steel for 7-8 months.
It boldly delivers aromas of quince and lemon meringue, marzipan and coriander, yellow apples and fresh mountain stream. A lovely palate is creamy yet exuberant; it has a slick texture and long finish trailing flavours of almond paste and praline.
Outstanding.

Charming, refined, juicy.
An exceptional Bourgogne at a reasonable price for a red Burgundy.
Light ruby in colour, the nose seduces with cherry and raspberry, violets and candied lilacs, tealeaf, cedar and fine spice aromas. That delicacy returns on the palate with hightoned red fruit, fine spice and cedar flavours. Lovely refinement, it has a silky texture and juicy, charming character.

Cherry, spice, lean.
There is some progression on the nose here: umami, fine spice, beet greens and dried fruits, sour cherries and red currents, tealeaf and prune. Reflecting the nose the palate has green undertones, along with bitter cherry, tealeaf and peppery spices. Light-to-medium bodied it's somewhat awkward, bitter and lean.

Classic, juicy, complexity.
Always a classic example of a well designed Beaune Pinot, the 2017 suggests sweet earthy notes of cherries and red currents, fine spice, leather, dried rose petals savoury undertones. Medium bodied it delves into juicy tangy red berries, tealeaf, leather and spice flavours. The acidity in this vintage is notable, but digging in, it still maintains complexity terroir.

Classic, elegant, complete.
A classic example of a well designed Beaune red, this version delivers cherry, leather, fine spices, dried violets, cedar and red apple skin aromas. The Palate is grounded in earth; silky red fruit, tealeaf , leather and spice flavours lead to a smooth finish. It's not bitter but engaging and dynamic.
