Domaine Drouhin Oregon Pinot Noir

Domaine Drouhin Oregon Pinot Noir is crafted by the esteemed Maison Joseph Drouhin, a renowned winery with roots in Burgundy, France, and established in Oregon in 1987. The grapes for this Pinot Noir come from the estate's vineyards in the Dundee Hills of the Willamette Valley, a region celebrated for its ideal growing conditions for Pinot Noir. The winery practices sustainable viticulture, ensuring the highest quality fruit. The winemaking process begins with handpicking and hand sorting the Pinot Noir grapes. Fermentation is carried out meticulously in the winery's gravity flow facility, preserving the delicate characteristics of the fruit. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, custom made for Maison Joseph Drouhin, for about ten months. This aging process allows the wine to develop complexity and depth, showcasing the unique terroir of the Dundee Hills with 13.9% alcohol by volume (ABV).
