Droin’s large modern winery is a cutting-edge operation. Besides reducing the use of oak barrels, the pruning system has been modified. Yields have also been significantly reduced. Droin works with respect for the terroir. For example, Petit Chablis, Chablis, Premier Cru’s Vaucoupin and Côte de Lechet, and Grand Cru Blanchots are fully fermented and aged in a tank. But Fourchaume, Grenouilles and Les Clos receive only 50 per cent fermentation and maturation in barrel. For the Grands Cru’s, up to 10 per cent new oak is used.
