Crafted exclusively from our Dundee Hills Estate Pinot Noir grapes, the Edition Rosé holds a special place in the hearts of all of us here at the winery, especially during the vibrant seasons of spring and summer. The lightness and crispness make it a delightful companion to a variety of dishes. Our winemaker, Véronique, often says that this wine is best savored swiftly, and it’s true! Rosé is best when enjoyed in and around a year or two of release.

Since 1988, our Dundee Hills Pinot Noir cuvée has been a cornerstone of our Oregon journey. The first wine crafted by the Drouhin Family in Oregon, this wine is truly the heart of Domaine Drouhin. Coming from the Dundee Hills estate, its elegance, balance, and finesse have been adorning wine lists and personal cellars for more than three decades.  Typically, 5-10 years seems to be a sweet spot.

Chardonnay Arthur, named in honor of Véronique’s son, embodies the vibrant, zesty acidity and mineral essence of the vineyard, complemented by a harmonious richness and impressive length. Crafted solely from 100% Dijon clones, grown on the Drouhin Family Estate in Oregon’s Dundee Hills since 1990, Arthur exemplifies elegance. After a few years, this wine matures quite gracefully.

Named after Véronique’s eldest daughter, Laurène is perhaps our best known cuvée – a beautiful barrel selection crafted from our estate Pinot Noir. Complexity, elegance, length, and depth are all hallmarks of Laurène, which often hits its stride between 10-15 years of age (but we’ve had beautiful bottles that are now 20-25 years old).

As a winery, time gives us our greatest gifts: more experience, older vines, and opportunities to pause and listen, to pursue the singular expressions that will eventually become harmonious pieces of a whole. The Origine Pinot Noir is very much an expression of our Dundee Hills estate while also presenting the kinds of nuances and subtleties that have defined Véronique’s work over the course of 36+ years.  We debuted with Origine 34, and have since released its follow-up, Origine 35. We expect these wines to have a very long life ahead.

Our Edition Limitée Chardonnay is known for its grace, intensity, precision, and impressive palate presence. Each harvest, our Chardonnay is hand-picked, sorted, and delicately whole-bunch pressed before going to barrel. As Véronique follows the wine through élevage, she is getting a sense for which barrels seem destined to be together in the small, distinctive selection that becomes Edition Limitée. This cuvée undergoes complete aging in oak, adding an extra dimension of complexity. Expect a graceful evolution over the next 8-10 years.

The Edition Limitée Pinot Noir is a reflection of Véronique’s history with our Dundee Hills estate over the last three decades.  Crafted from two distinct blocks on our property, with very different elevations, the EL Pinot reveals a rich, earthy structure and effortless elegance. This is our only wine to see partial whole cluster fermentation, creating a fresh lift and distinctive texture on the palate. With abundant depth and complexity, the Edition Limitée Pinot Noir should age beautifully over 10-15 years.

Named after Véronique’s youngest daughter, Louise represents a genuinely exceptional bottling. With each vintage, Véronique selects a handful of barrels that create a very distinct personality for the wine. Complex, textural, layered and satisfying, Louise ages beautifully for 15-20 years (and possibly more – we’re still discovering).
