JP & BENOÎT DROIN - Chablis 2023

Le domaineJean-Paul et Benoît Droin

The Domaine Jean‑Paul & Benoît Droin is located in Chablis, in the prestigious Burgundy wine region. This family estate, founded in the 19th century, is now run by Benoît Droin, assisted by his father Jean‑Paul. The estate spans approximately 12 hectares of vineyards, mainly Chardonnay, across primary Chablis, Premier Cru, and Grand Cru appellations. The vines grow on clay-limestone soils with ideal exposure that define the region’s acclaim.

Domaine Jean‑Paul & Benoît Droin commits to sustainable viticulture that cares for soils and biodiversity. Harvests are manual, and grapes are carefully sorted before meticulous vinification. Aging in stainless steel tanks and oak barrels preserves the wines’ freshness and minerality while adding complexity and depth. The estate combines traditional methods with modern techniques tailored to each terroir.

The wines of Domaine Jean‑Paul & Benoît Droin are renowned for their finesse, balance, and purity. Classic Chablis are crisp, mineral, and elegant, with aromas of white fruits, citrus, and flowers, supported by beautiful acidity. Premier Cru and Grand Cru wines, such as Chablis Vaudésir or Les Clos, offer added complexity with notes of ripe fruit, honey, hazelnut, and pronounced minerality. These precise wines age gracefully, revealing new layers of complexity over time.
