Description

2022 Chorey-lès-Beaune, Joseph Drouhin, BurgundyThe wines from Maison Joseph Drouhin are always of a high standard, but were particularly bright and intense in the 2022 vintage: full bodied, fresh and balanced, with excellent structure and real ageing potential. The Chorey les Beaune has surprisingly bright aromas, with hints of blackberry jam alongside wild bramble notes, that are just now softening into truffle and forest floor tones. 20% of the blend was aged in French oak for 12 16 months.

Pair it with eggplant dishes
