Joseph Drouhin Meursault

A benchmark white Burgundy that captures the elegance and prestige of one of the Cote de Beaune's most celebrated villages. Produced from Chardonnay grown across the renowned Meursault appellation, it reflects the diverse limestone-rich soils that give the wines their famous balance of richness, freshness and complexity.

• Aroma: Aromas of honey, linden flower, hazelnut butter and delicate floral notes fill the glass.
• Palate: The palate is silky and rounded, revealing layers of ripe orchard fruit and subtle oak complexity.
• Finish: A long finish carries flavours of yellow plum, gingerbread and elegant mineral freshness.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Here are a few serving suggestions and pairing ideas to help you get the most from this white wine, whether you’re enjoying it with food or simply savouring it on its own.

Lobster with beurre blanc sauce is a superb match because the wine's silky texture mirrors the richness of the dish while its minerality and freshness prevent the pairing from becoming heavy. The subtle oak influence adds another layer of complexity to every bite.

Mature Comte with walnut bread creates a classic Burgundian pairing. The nutty cheese amplifies the wine's hazelnut and buttery notes, while the freshness keeps the combination balanced and elegant.

Meet The Wine Producer Behind The Bottle

A brief look at the producer’s heritage and winemaking approach.

Joseph Drouhin

Founded in Beaune in 1880 by Joseph Drouhin, Maison Joseph Drouhin has grown into one of Burgundy's most established family wine producers. His son Maurice expanded the business, acquiring important vineyard holdings including the celebrated Clos des Mouches in 1921. The next generation, led by Robert Drouhin from 1957, further developed the estate, expanding into Chablis and establishing a family winery in Oregon in 1987. Today, the fourth generation, Philippe, Veronique, Laurent and Frederic Drouhin, oversees the business, maintaining its focus on quality, regional character and careful winemaking.

The family owns vineyards across Burgundy, from Chablis in the north to the Maconnais in the south, covering the Cote de Nuits, Cote de Beaune and Cote Chalonnaise. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are the principal varieties, producing wines across village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru appellations. The estate adopted organic and biodynamic viticulture from the late 1980s, with practices including hand harvesting, cover crops, natural composting and horse ploughing. In the cellar, fermentation and ageing are adapted to each vineyard site, using indigenous yeasts, stainless steel, oak barrels and other vessels to preserve the individual character of each wine.
