Review 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 Our Chardonnay was hand-picked into small totes, and then whole-cluster pressed. Half of the juice was fermented in French Oak barrels (30% new) to create a round, rich texture. The other half was fermented and aged in stainless steel. Veronique then blended these two portions to create a wine of a more delicate nature. To Veronique, it as if one brought together elements of a pure Chablis and an elegant Meursault.
Food pairing Pair with shellfish and ripe cheese.
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.
