The 2019 Joseph Drouhin Côte de Beaune Rouge is a Pinot Noir sourced from the Drouhin family's own estate vines, including declassified fruit from younger Clos des Mouches vines and other Beaune Premier Cru parcels. It is notably structured yet approachable, with the 2019 vintage praised for delivering ample, silky, and charming wines with great maturity. Wine Enthusiast awarded it 91 points, calling it 'immediately enjoyable' and suggesting it will reward through 2030.

Bold hits of licorice and black pepper accent violet and black cherry in this supple, black-fruited Pinot Noir; on the nose, delicate strawberry and red currant aromas, with refined tannins lending a nice roundness and an elegant finish.
