Domaine Drouhin Pinot Noir

”About our Pinot Noir Our 1988 Classique Pinot Noir was the first wine produced by the Drouhin Family in Oregon. Over two decades later this cuvee has become a foundational element of many great wine lists and personal cellars. The fruit is harvested entirely from our family’s Dundee Hills estate and the wine is vinified in the Drouhin family style with a focus on elegance balance and finesse. Winemaking Our Pinot Noir is handpicked into 25-pound totes then hand sorted and de-stemmed at our four level gravity flow winery. Fermentations are long and careful and by November all of our Pinot is safely in barrel. Our barrels are custom made in Burgundy using oak from France’s best forests allowing the character of the soil and vintage to show through. The Vintage In describing the vintage character words like beautiful and exuberant come to mind. Not shy but balanced and energetic these are wines that will be delicious young and will certainly age very well. We saw bud break
