About
The Droin family has been in Chablis since at least 1547, when the first records indicate that one Jehan Droin owned one parcel of vines in the Clos. Since then, the family has always owned property in the village and is among the oldest land owners in the area. Jean-Paul Droin took over the property in 1983 and helped to establish the property as among the best of the AOC. In 1999, his son Benoit joined the property and is now the principal winemaker at the estate.
Review
87 Points - Robert Parker's The Wine Adovcate
"Firm, bright, and ultimately a bit austere, the Droin 2008 Chablis – drawn from numerous villages on both sides of the river – offers pronounced fresh lemon and grapefruit, with a tart, salt- and chalk-tinged finish. It should prove versatile over the next 2-3 years."
