Located mid-slope, the Genevrières climate is one of the most emblematic of Meursault, renowned for its subtle, elegant, and profound wines. Joseph Drouhin’s Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières seduces with a refined nose blending citrus zest, white flowers, fresh almonds, and a discreet toasted note. On the palate, the balance is remarkable: the attack is silky, the texture enveloping, supported by a mineral freshness that extends the finish with finesse. The vinification and aging are carried out with precision, respecting the terroir, to preserve the identity and purity of the Chardonnay. This wine is ideally paired with delicate dishes such as seafood risotto, sole meunière, or mature goat cheese.

Since 1880, Maison Joseph Drouhin has embodied the history of a family passionate about the great wines of Burgundy. Today, the estate spans 100 hectares in the region’s most prestigious “climats.” From its inception, the House has distinguished itself through its commitment to quality, respect for the terroir, and the diversity of Burgundy’s appellations.

Joseph Drouhin quickly succeeded in combining the roles of wine merchant, producer, and, above all, owner. Generations have succeeded one another, strengthening the House’s reputation through the acquisition of iconic plots in Chablis, the Côte de Nuits, the Côte de Beaune, and beyond.

Each generation has been guided by rigorous ethics and a constant quest for excellence. The Drouhin style, instantly recognizable, is distinguished by its finesse, elegance, and purity.

Organic and biodynamic viticulture has naturally emerged as a natural choice to preserve the authentic expression of the terroirs. Today, Maison Joseph Drouhin still embodies the balance between family tradition and respectful innovation. A name synonymous with refinement, harmony, and a passion for Burgundy.
