Description
What kind of wine it is
The Domaine Drouhin Laurene Oregon Dundee Hills Pinot Noir, produced by Domaine Drouhin Oregon, is a still red wine that precisely expresses the character of Pinot Noir. On the nose, it presents a defined aromatic profile, with notes of black cherry and wild berries, enriched by hints of orange zest and warm spices. On the palate, it stands out for its silky texture and medium structure, supported by lively acidity. Fine and elegant tannins accompany the tasting towards a long mineral finish, enhanced by subtle savoury touches and toasted oak.
Where it comes from
This red originates from the winegrowing area of the Dundee Hills, a renowned subzone of the Willamette Valley in the State of Oregon. The region offers optimal soil and climate conditions to enhance the qualities of the grape variety. The Domaine Drouhin Oregon winery brings the family's rigorous winemaking expertise, developed in the finest vineyards of Burgundy, to American soils. The meticulous organic vineyard management is reflected in an authentic expression of the Oregon terroir, focused on balance and a clean, persistent finish.
How it is produced
The production process begins with manual harvesting and destemming of the grapes. Vinification takes place in a gravity-flow winery, preserving the fruit's characteristics through slow and careful fermentations. Ageing occurs in custom French oak barrels, which integrate delicate spicy notes. This method results in an elegant wine.
History and Curiosities

The artisanal care continues in a gravity-flow winery and culminates in ageing in bespoke French oak barrels. A true oenological masterpiece, awarded with top marks by international critics, it offers an unforgettable sip of rare finesse.
