This is an impressive showing from Drouhin. In my view the 2010s are more interesting and transparent than the 2009s. Véronique Drouhin describes 2010 as a vintage with long-term aging potential, which certainly seems to be the case. Some of the wines were vinified with a portion of whole clusters, including the Corton-Bressandes, Petits-Monts, Charmes and Musigny.

According to Frederic Drouhin, vintage 2010 brought balance and purity across the greater Burgundy region. The 2009s, he noted, " are ripe, sweet and seductive, but terroir differences were erased by the warm weather. The 2010s have less alcohol but more acidity, and superb balance. They will age gracefully." The 2010 harvest took place between September 21 and 29. Although the fruit was lower in sugar than that of 2009, many cuvees were not chaptalized. Due in part to the late malos, the Drouhin 2010s will be bottled later than usual; in most cases, I tasted final blends that were ready for bottling.
