Domaine Drouhin Pinot Noir 2022: A New-World Expression with Old-World Elegance

94 points - James Suckling. "Complex and layered, with spiced cherries, aged tangerine peel, and earthy undertones. Medium-bodied and structured, with fine tannins and a polished finish."

Tasting Notes:

Color: Vibrant ruby red.
Nose: Aromas of tart cherries, pomegranate, peony, and wood spice, with earthy hints of dried violets and coffee.
Palate: Bright and lively, showcasing flavors of red berries, cranberries, and a touch of sour citrus, balanced by crisp acidity and firm tannins.
Finish: Long and elegant, with a lingering fruit-forward finish complemented by subtle spice and minerality.

The Story Behind the Wine:

The 2022 Domaine Drouhin Pinot Noir is produced from grapes grown in the Dundee Hills of Oregon, a region renowned for its similarity to Burgundy’s terroir. The Drouhin family, with over 130 years of winemaking heritage in Burgundy, established this estate in 1987, bringing their expertise and traditions to the Willamette Valley. This Pinot Noir is a blend of their estate-grown, handpicked fruit, vinified in a four-level gravity-flow winery, emphasizing minimal intervention and sustainable farming practices.

Perfect Pairings:

Poultry: Pairs beautifully with roast chicken or duck.
Pasta: Excellent with mushroom-based pasta or risotto.
Cheese: Complements soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert.

Winemaking & Terroir:

The estate is known for its sustainable farming (certified L.I.V.E.) and the use of custom-made barrels from Burgundy, allowing the natural flavors of the fruit and terroir to shine through. The 2022 vintage began with early challenges from frost but ended with ideal harvest conditions, resulting in lower yields but exceptional fruit quality(
