The Drouhin family have access to 6 hectares of the ‘lieu-dit’ Les Clos vineyard, which is the very finest in Bussières, lying just a mile from Pouilly Fuissé and sharing the same terroir.
It has an excellent aspect facing both east and south in a high altitude location, giving both freshness from altitude and ripeness from its optimum aspect. The fruit is harvested to retain freshness, 30% of the wine was matured in 500 litre barrels, giving depth and suppleness with only subtle oak influence. There is a richness and generosity in this wine not often seen in Burgundy at this price level. No patience required, tuck in and enjoy over the next 12-18 months.
