Yes Domaine Drouhin owns beautiful vineyards (and gravity flow facilities) in the Dundee Hills of Oregon. They make mostly Pinot Noir but also the Chardonnay above. I like these wines because the climate is more Burgundian (the reason they chose the vineyard to begin with). It is wine with New World terroir but with French restraint. The result are beautifully balanced but slightly more lush wines compared to their French wines. They actually compare and contrast their own wines if you go there for a tasting. Veronique Drouhin is the winemaker on both continents. Look up the DDO website if you are interested.
