His son Maurice succeeded him and began to establish a vineyard domaine for the House, purchasing land in some outstanding appellations such as Clos des Mouches and Clos de Vougeot.
Robert Drouhin, who succeeded Maurice in 1957, gave the domaine its present dimension, acquiring many vineyards, especially in Chablis where he was able to recognize the true potential. He was one of the first in Burgundy to introduce "culture raisonnée" (doing away with pesticides and other chemicals) and to build a laboratory of enology run by Laurence Jobard, the very first woman enologist in Burgundy.
Philippe, Véronique, Laurent and Frédéric are Robert and Françoise Drouhin's four children. They uphold the values of the House and its constant quest for quality, for the pleasure of all those who have a deep appreciation for the natural elegance of Burgundy. Read more

| Story | Gevrey is of course the village where the Grand Cru vineyard Chambertin is located. Vines have been cultivated here since 630 A.D., when a certain Bertin decided to emulate the monks, his neighbors. The wine he made turned out to be spectacular - and the rest is history |
| Origin | Located in the north of the Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin |
| Soil composition | Lean and chalky, with a red-brown cover layer of clayey marl. |
| Cultivation system | Guyot |
| Plants per hectare | 10000 |
| Yield per hectare | 44 hl/ha - purposely low, in order for the grapes to reveal every nuance of the terroir. |
| Wine making | Maceration and vinification take 2 to 3 weeks - Indigenous yeasts - Maceration and fermentation temperatures under total control. Joseph Drouhin seeks total control of the process of extraction; extraction gives colour and substance but should never be detrimental to the finesse and typical character of the wine. |
| Aging | 14 8 months in barrels (20% in new oak). Origin of the wood: French oak forests. |
| Allergens | Contains sulphites |
