Pinot Noir - Laforêt 2021

Maison Joseph Drouhin, founded in Beaune in 1880, is one of Burgundy’s great family-owned wine houses. For four generations, the Drouhin family has crafted wines with the ambition of expressing the remarkable diversity of Burgundy’s terroirs with precision, elegance and authenticity.

With a portfolio spanning more than 90 appellations, Joseph Drouhin offers a genuine journey through the richness and diversity of Burgundy, from regional appellations to the most prestigious Premier and Grand Crus.

The Maison has been awarded the Grappe d’Or by Gault&Millau, a distinction that recognises the quality of its work and its position among the leading names in Burgundy.

The Laforêt Bourgogne Pinot Noir was created in the 1970s by Robert Drouhin with a simple idea: to make “the Burgundy that introduces you to Burgundy”. It is crafted from a carefully selected blend of around ten Burgundy climats, including vineyards located on higher slopes near the forests that inspired its name. It offers an accessible and elegant expression of Burgundian Pinot Noir, with an emphasis on fruit, freshness and finesse.
