Domaine Drouhin Dundee Hills Pinot Noir (2022)

Domaine Drouhin Oregon forms a rare bridge between the revered slopes of Burgundy and the volcanic soils of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Established in 1987 by the legendary Drouhin family, the estate brought generations of Burgundian expertise to the Dundee Hills, guided by their philosophy of “French Soul, Oregon Soil.” High-density plantings, meticulous vineyard work and a restrained winemaking approach result in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay defined by finesse, structure and balance. These are poised, age-worthy wines that combine Old World precision with the vibrancy of the Pacific Northwest.

Cradled between the Cascade Mountains and the Coast Range, the Willamette Valley is the heart of American cool-climate winemaking. Its mix of ancient volcanic and sedimentary soils, including the iron-rich red Jory clay, combined with a long, mild growing season and maritime influence, creates ideal conditions for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of purity and structure. From the windswept Eola-Amity Hills to the red-soiled slopes of Dundee, the valley produces wines of freshness, precision and quiet elegance that have earned global respect while retaining a distinctly Pacific Northwest identity.
