| Review |
| This trailblazing winery produces some of Oregon217;s finest, most ageworthy (but by no means forbidding) Pinot Noirs, but I suspect that not many wine lovers are aware of the enormous strides that have been made here with Chardonnay. Indeed, their top Chardonnay bottling, the Edition Limitee, is among the United States’ very best examples of the variety. The entry-level Arthur bottling delivers outstanding value relative to its quality, but it’s the Edition Limitee, which Veronique Drouhin told me is made from the best four or five barrels in worthy vintages and is expressly made for cellaring, that’s the real head-turner. -From Oregon Pushes the Quality Needle for Pinot (Jan 2018) by Josh Raynolds |
| Wine maker notes |
| All of our Pinot Noir is hand-picked into 25-pound totes, then hand-sorted and destemmed at our four-level gravity flow winery. Fermentations are long and careful. By the middle of November, all of our wine was safely in barrel. We use approximately 20 percent new oak with our Pinot Noir, which allows the character of the wine and vintage to show through. Barrels are custom made for us in Burgundy, using oak from France’s best forests. Our goal is to produce Pinot Noirs with balance, elegance and finesse. |
| Food pairing |
| Pinot Noir is well-suited to pair with poultry, beef, fish, ham, lamb and pork. It will play well with creamy sauces, spicy seasonings and may just be one of the world’s most versatile food wines. |
| Producer |
| Domaine Drouhin has been on the viticultural cutting edge in Oregon since their first vintage in 1988, and continues to set the pace. Winemaker Veronique Drouhin-Boss’ roots go deep into her family’s 13th century cellars under the streets of Beaune, the heart of Burgundy. She represents the fourth generation of winemakers from this venerable wine family of France, but it is here in Oregon that her skills and passion are bringing forth some of the most sublime Pinot Noir and Chardonnay produced anywhere. With centuries of Burgundian winemaking experience flowing through her blood, Veronique has lovingly crafted every drop of wine produced at Domaine Drouhin Oregon since the first vintage in 1988. |
