An emblematic figure in Côte de Nuits viticulture, Domaine Drouhin-Laroze’s philosophy can be summed up in three words: hillside vineyards. Their conquest of the finest terroirs was the ultimate mission of this multi-faceted domaine.

Led by Philippe Drouhin and his wife Christine, the sixth generation at the helm, Domaine Drouhin-Laroze offers unique wines every vintage. With no less than 46% of its vineyards located in the Grand Cru appellation, the domaine excels in sublimating these magical terroirs. The wines produced are refined yet retain intensity and vitality. Aged for 18 months in vaulted cellars dating back to the early 19th century, they offer marvellous ageing potential to those who know how to wait for them.
Caroline and Nicolas joined their parents in 2000, perpetuating the Domaine’s fabulous viticultural destiny. This brilliant family produces some of the finest expressions of Pinot Noir in the region.
