The Winery

Domaine Drouhin- Oregon

Skills get more refined, methods evolve, but what important is what is transmitted from generation to generation: The search for excellence, the intellectual curiosity, the sense of values, passion, the respect for terroir...
– Robert Drouhin, Proprietor

Located in Willamette Valley’s Dundee Hills AVA, Domaine Drouhin Oregon is one of the most recognized wineries in the state due to their ownership under Maison Joseph Drouhin, an esteemed Burgundian producer. The winery has been releasing wine since the 1988 vintage and is known for their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The family discovered the New World region thanks to several visits as well as blind tastings in Paris and Burgundy that launched Oregon wines as a top player in the wine producing world. Robert Drouhin, the third generation owner, recognized that the soils and climate in the Dundee Hills could unlock the vast potential of complexities in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes in the 1970s. In 1987 Robert purchased land in Dundee and began planting in time to release wines in 1988, and by the following year their landmark, four-story gravity flow winery was complete.

Tasting Notes

BH93
A fresh, elegant and complex nose blends both upper and lower register fruit aromas, in particular red currant and plum, along with subtle soil undertones that lead to delicious, detailed and equally complex medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent focus, balance and persistence on the beautifully long finish that displays an attractive touch of austerity. If you wanted to pick nits, you could say that this is not as dense as some prior vintages but I would counter with how lovely this wine is to simply drink, which is what really counts. Well worth your interest.
WSM92
A powerfully built pinot with firm underpinnings of dark, mocha-like oak flavors, this takes a day to uncoil. With air an ethereal red cherry fruit is revealed, adorning a fine burnished texture and polished tannins. This is a subtle wine that is certain to grow more expressive with age.
