This typical Pinot Noir encompasses both red and black berry fruit, complexity coming from citrus, spice and tea notes, and a very fine, seamlessly silky texture.

Producer

When Joseph Drouhin established his eponymous négociant company in 1880, he could scarcely have imagined that his family name would one day grace an estate in Oregon. Purchased by his grandson Robert in 1987, whose eye for an opportunity was instrumental in the company’s post-war success, Drouhin’s Dundee Hills vineyard was joined in 2013 by Roserock Estate in the Eola-Amity Hills. The original site has a remarkable similarity in climate, latitude and aspect to the great vineyards of Burgundy, whilst Roserock has a cooler climate and volcanic soils; both produce Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of great clarity and finesse. Robert’s children Véronique and Philippe, who oversee winemaking and viticulture respectively, are also on hand to ensure the Drouhin style is present whilst simultaneously allowing Oregon’s unique terroir to shine through.

Vineyard

The grapes come from the Dundee Hills estate and were hand-picked between late September and early October.

Winery

After hand-sorting and de-stemming the grapes underwent a long fermentation and was then racked by gravity to French oak barrels (20% new) for malolactic and ageing.
