In 1988, the Domaine Drouhin Classique Pinot Noir was the first wine produced by the Drouhin Family in Oregon. Three decades later, this cuvée has become a foundational element of many great wine lists and personal cellars. The fruit is harvested entirely from the family’s Dundee Hills estate, and the wine is vinified in the Drouhin family style with a focus on elegance, balance and finesse. The 2022 vintage is a celebrated success in Oregon, yielding wines of remarkable concentration and perfect natural acidity, ensuring both immediate enjoyment and excellent cellar potential. Highly aromatic and pure, offering lifted notes of bright red cherry, cranberry, and wild raspberry. Savoury undertones of forest floor, subtle mushroom, and a touch of sweet clove spice add layers of complexity. The palate is medium-bodied and exquisitely silky on the entry, with tannins that are fine-grained and perfectly integrated. The fruit is vibrant and focused, balanced by a refreshing, persistent acidity that drives a long, elegant finish. [#intro]Elegant, silky Oregon Pinot Noir from Burgundy pioneers.
