In 1987 Burgundys famous Maison Joseph Drouhin established Domaine Drouhin in the Dundee Hills of Oregon, a small growing region in the Willamette Valley, thirty miles southwest of Portland. The estate is now home to 90 acres of hillside vineyards in the heart of Oregon's Red Hills, producing stunning Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that are noted internationally for their pure expression of fruit, superior balance, silky texture, and classical elegance. The first vintage made was 1988. The best selection of Pinot Noir is bottled separately and named for Véronique`s first born, Laurène.
