Let’s be honest, there is no winery in Oregon that has a set up anywhere near the one at Domaine Drouhin. It’s a breathtaking estate in the heart of Oregon’s oldest and most prestigious AVA, the Dundee Hills- home to heavy hitters like Domaine Serene, Drouhin, Eyrie and Antica Terra.
But unlike those other wineries, Drouhin is home to a 235-acre estate, a world class four-level gravity flow winery, a secret garden and one of the very best, most knowledgeable winemakers in the world, Burgundian Veronique Drouhin– who flies her private jet between her two estates in Beaune and Dundee making the wines for both Domaine Joseph Drouhin and Domaine Drouhin Oregon.
Veronique is wine royalty. No, I’m serious. She was born into one of the most famous wine families in the world. Her first sip of wine was an 1856 Burgundy. Wasn’t everyone’s?
In 1986, she turned down an internship opportunity from Robert Mondavi for what her father thought was a better fit in Oregon, where she was invited to learn from Adelsheim, Bethel Heights and Eyrie. Two years later, she and her father would establish Domaine Drouhin Oregon- becoming the first French winery to do so.
Since then, she’s been the standard everyone is chasing.
Her Domaine Drouhin winery year in and year out is one of the most decorated in the state, but in no vintage more so than the 2019 vintage.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills is defined, expressive and layered, with pure lavender, peppercorn and wild berry aromas and a velvety texture with bursts of freshness that highlight floral perfume and an array of spicy accents on the extended finish.
94 Points, James Suckling
A very pretty combination of dried berries, smoke and cedar with some dried flowers, following through to a medium body, a solid core of fruit and a round yet firm, tannic finish. Young, but so attractive. Give it two or three years to open.

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”
The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
