Domaine Drouhin-Laroze

The Estate is currently run by Philippe and Christine Drouhin, assisted by their children Caroline and Nicolas.  Each successive generation continued to develop the Estate with the sole objective of investing in hillside vineyards, which was a visionary and risky choice. 

The bet paid off and today, thanks to the sacrifices and risk-taking of the previous generations: The 11.50 hectare Estate is one of the most prestigious in terms of diversity, quality and the surface area of its appellations.

There is work to be done every day in order to present clients with exceptional wines that are representative of our superlative "terroirs" and of the typicality of the Pinot Noir Grape Variety. Our vines are grown and tended with a fundamental concern for the land and in tune with the seasons, enabling Nature and "terroir" to fully manifest themselves, all the while adapting ancestral techniques to suit the constraints of today.

Regular between-row tillage, early cluster thinning, thorough leaf removal and picking by hand all contribute to the growth of optimum-quality grapes. The grapes are systematically sorted before reaching the fermenting vats.  Governed by the quality of the grapes harvested after an entire year's work, vinification is a meticulous and traditional process carried out in our modern vat hall.
