Laurent Drouhin
Export Director, North America/Caribbean
Laurent loved playing hide-and-seek in the hectare of cellar. He emerged with a Proust’s madeleine whose noble aromas are those of fermenting grapes.
By regularly accompanying his father in the vineyards, Laurent also understands the importance of preserving the family heritage. “Our name must embody family values that carry a certain idea of wine,” he summarizes. To him, Drouhin signifies a duty of excellence. After graduating from the Business School in Paris, he initially took on the role of sales representative in the capital.
Around the year 2000, he ventured to the Caribbean before seizing the North American market. With his wife and two children, Aurore and Amaury, he settled in the New York region, from where he oversees the commercialization and marketing of all Drouhin wines with a special relationship with Dreyfus Ashby, importers of the family’s wines since the 1960s. Thus, he carries the family values and his perception of wine to every corner of the globe.
More About Joseph Drouhin
MAISON JOSEPH DROUHIN – Family Since 1880
A Burgundian Heritage
Over the decades and through various experiences, Maison Joseph Drouhin has built a heritage encompassing whole Burgundy.
With 100 hectares, Domaine Joseph Drouhin is currently one of the largest estates in the region. It is spread across the entire Burgundy wine region: Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise, and Mâconnais. The estate comprises mainly Grand Crus and Premier Crus, planted with the two iconic Burgundian grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This heritage has been built over time through judicious acquisitions and family agreements.
It is directed by the four great-grandchildren of Joseph Drouhin, born between 1961 and 1968. They grew up in the vineyards and acquired a deep understanding of wine alongside their father, Robert Drouhin. They all have their own role and they share the same passion for wine. The fifth generation is also making its mark…
From vintage to vintage, they perpetuate tradition and innovate to push the boundaries in the pursuit of the « elegant perfection » that has made Joseph Drouhin wines renowned.
