Reviews:

• Decanter: The Mazis is a highlight of the Drouhin portfolio this year, offering up an utterly classic nose of wild berries, cassis, gamebird and bonfire. On the palate the wine is powerful, full-bodied and concentrated, with a deep, brooding core of fruit, fine but ample tannins, and an abundance of savage, savory complexity. This is one of the smaller cuves in the Drouhin cellar, but it is absolutely worth ardent pursuit.

Producer Information

Joseph Drouhin is one of Burgundy’s most important wine producers. Founded in Beaune in 1880, the domaine has expanded throughout the 20th Century to include vineyards in Chablis, the Cte de Nuits, the Cte de Beaune and the Cte Chalonnaise, making everything from simple, village-level cuves to highly priced grand cru and premier cru wines from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The domaine was started by the eponymous Drouhin, who established the company’s headquarters in the city of Beaune in the late 19th Century. His son, Maurice, began to acquire vineyards in the early 20th Century, starting with the now-iconic Clos des Mouches vineyard. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s Joseph Drouhin began to expand its land holdings in Chablis and, in 1988, the domaine established a vineyard in Oregon, in the United States. Domaine Joseph Drouhin makes several grand cru wines in the Cte d’Or and in Chablis, including ones from Musigny, Corton-Charlemagne and Les Clos, as well as the Marquis de Laguiche Montrachet Grand Cru. It also has land in some of the Cte d’Or’s most famous premier cru vineyards, including Chambolle-Musigny’s Les Amoureuses vineyard and in Beaune’s Clos des Mouches. Joseph Drouhin makes a range of village-level and regional wines. Grapes for these are sourced from growers in the area, as well as from the domaine’s own vineyards.
