| 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 |
| About the Laurene Cuvee - Named after Veronique Drouhin’s elder daughter, Laurene is our flagship wine, and is produced entirely from Pinot Noir grown on the family’s estate in the Dundee Hills. All of the fruit is handpicked into small totes, destemmed, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and then placed into barrels (French oak, never more than 20% new). Once the vintage is safely in the cellar, Veronique begins the process of selecting barrels which have an extra complexity, length and depth - barrels which will work together as Laurene. In recent years, Laurene has been named one of the “Great Wines of America” by Paul Lukacs in his book of the same name and “perennially one of Oregon’s best wines” by Portland Monthly Magazine (Sept. 2009). In 2008, celebrated writer Matt Kramer presented Laurene in his Wine Spectator seminar, “21st Century Pinot Noir Greatness. ” |
| 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. |
