- Domaine Drouhin was hardly the first Oregon winery (the land was purchased in 1987 and the winery built in 1989) but it was the real ground breaker in terms of bringing instant credibility to the region's existing wineries as well as those who have followed. DDO, as it's known, tries to emulate the elegant and pure style of the Domaine Drouhin Burgundies while working with the different ripeness and fruit characteristics that Oregon produces. The 2002 vintage is a clear success for DDO and the Laurène is a knockout. For further information, contact: (503) 864-2700 or visit read more...

- The 2002 Classique is a delightful wine laced with aromatics of intense fruit, cherry & red berries. True to the varietal & vintage, this Pinot displays ripe but refined tannins. This, combined with a hint of oak, lends to an opulent texture of elegance & lingering finesse. Pair this wine with any number of Burgundian specialties (Boeuf Bourguignon or Coq au Vin) &/or a selection of artisan cheeses (Comte, Epoisses, Gruyere) This wine is excellent now, but may also be enjoyed for another 10 years. -Veronique Drouhin-Boss
