Lot 306 | Domaine Drouhin, Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1961
Estimate value
£ 1 800 – 2 200
In 1880 Joseph Drouhin established his own négociant firm and acquired the old cellars of the Dukes of Burgundy at Collégiale Notre-Dame. His son Maurice began buying vineyards, staring with Beaune Clos des Mouches and he also had distribution rights for a portion of the Domaine de la Romanée Conti. Robert Drouhin, the adopted heir, took the reins in 1957 and now looks over the Domaine which is run by his children. Laurence Jobard consulted on the wine-making from 1973 until 2005 and many great vintages were produced under his careful watch.
Great names in both the Côtes are produced by Drouhin; Chambertin and Clos de Bèze, Bonnes Mares and Musigny, Corton-Charlemagne and Bâtard-Montrachet. The family produce Montrachet on behalf of the Domaine Marquis de Laguiche, who own a 2.06 hectares of the Grand Cru.
