Domaine Joseph Drouhin is one of the oldest, most respected wine producers in the Burgundy region, established in Beaune by the enterprising Joseph Drouhin in 1880. Gevrey is of course the village where the Grand Cru vineyard Chambertin is located. Vines have been cultivated here since 630AD, when a certain Bertin decided to emulate the monks, his neighbors. The wine he made turned out to be spectacular - and the rest is history! The "Clos Prieur" Premier Cru plot belonged to the Prieurs de Cluny who used to live in the old castle of Gevrey.

The wine shows a beautiful deep garnet color. The nose exudes intense scents of candied black fruits. On the palate, aromas of Morello cherry mingle with hints of vanilla, and the soft tannins offer a nice silky texture.

Pairs with leek soup, cabbage roulades or potato pan with salmon.
