Production Details Supply combines grapes from Drouhin family-property parcels with grapes and musts purchased from partner suppliers under specifications. Grapes are hand-harvested in open-work crates and carefully sorted when necessary; last-press juice is separated from free-run juice and transferred to barrel. Alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation and ageing occur in oak barrels, with around 30% new barrels and 18–21 months of ageing.
Tasting Notes Véronique Boss-Drouhin: bright golden colour; grilled bread, almond, honey and exotic-wood aromas; monumental structure, a touch of tannin, and a long finish with preserved and ripe fruit
