Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin
The Droin family is amongst the oldest in Chablis, its members having been wine growers for nearly five centuries. Since the year of 1620, fourteen generations of vignerons have transmitted their “savoir-faire” down from father to son.
The domaine`s extensive premier and grand cru holdings span the entire range of the Chablis stylistic repertory.
From mineral La Montée de Tonnerre, Vaudésir and Les Clos to fruitier and softer-textured Vaillons, La Fourchaume and Valmur, with Montmains somewhere in between adding citrus and floral notes, site specific nuances of flavour (and Chablis is all about nuances) are accurately translated into bottle. Outstanding cellar work here from the father and son team concentrates on using oak sensitively to enhance rather than obscure appellation character.
