Quite affected by frost here. The very old vines here are always solid performers says Veronique. Just one row - but the fsmily have a very long contract since 1947 - this knowledge and understanding allows great consistency. Deep and intense fruit. There is a buzz here, some nice textured fruit, nice spice and then good acidity and push - juicy and good. The average age of the vines is 40 years old. L&S (Nov 2017)

(made from a blend of old and younger vines): Hints of lemon and lime accented by white pepper on the nose and palate. On the light side but with good firming energy. Compared to Ramonet's other cru bottlings this wine comes across as a bit shallow. Drinking range: 2021 - 2027 Rating: 88 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Sept 2018)
(from Le Grand Clos and Vignes Blanches). This is also very firmly reduced at present and will need additional time to integrate its SO2 addition. There is both excellent power and concentration to the broad-shouldered flavors that avoid any sense of heaviness to the citrus-tinged acid spine shaping the seriously persistent finish where a hint of wood appears. This is as good an example of this wine as I can remember seeing. Drinking range: 2023 - Rating: 93 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jun 2018)
Some very attractive clarity of fruit on the nose with an array of peaches, white nectarines, melons and honeysuckles. The concentration is staggering. Very, very deep and dense with great acid drive underlying the fleshy ripe fruits. A citrus, stony finish with honeysuckles, spice meat and stone fruits. Superb. Drink or hold.

Joseph Drouhin
Despite the size of their vineyard holding, not all Drouhin's wines come from their own domaine, but most of the other wines do come from long-term contracts, such as exists with the Marquis de Laguiche wines. In all but name these wines are 'Domaine' wines, and the vineyards are cared for and the wines vinified with exactly the same care.

A more composed and refined village wine, with less obvious fruit, nicely rich in the mid-palate, still with the vintage's citrussy notes in the background. Nicely done.
