Drouhin 2008 Burgundy Release Wine Dinner October 28, 2010

Drouhin - Fine Wines of Burgundy Dinner

Since 1880 Maison Joseph Drouhin has built a reputation for wines that primarily reflect their individual terroir and vintage. Faithfully preserving individuality of each appellation, the Drouhin firm constantly strives for wines of breed, finesse and elegance.

Today, the Drouhin firm markets the whole gamut of Burgundy Appellations (more than a hundred different red and white wines), from Laforet Bourgogne, a high-quality regional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, to the rare and much-coveted Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche often referred to as the best dry white wine in the world. This great estate has evolved over the years, with important holdings in Côte de Beaune, Côte de Nuits, Chablis and, most recently, Oregon. Vineyards total 150 acres in Burgundy, and more than 125 acres in Oregon. As a result of its historic location deep in the heart of Beaune, its size and quality of vineyards, Maison Joseph Drouhin is uniquely placed to uphold the true Burgundian style.

We have been working on this fantastic dinner since March, 2010, when we tasted the 2008 wines at a pre-release luncheon, and, finally they have arrived in Ohio just recently! Join us in welcoming Steve Paley of Dreyfus, Ashby, with a thoughtfully paired tasting menu from Grovewood’s award-winning kitchen. A complimentary recipe book of the dishes served (but adapted for the home kitchen) will be presented.
