(553 views) | | | Tasted by Dine&Vine on 1/31/2024 & rated 95 points: Wow, definitely an old world style, like a Chablis. Citrus lemon, pear and salinity. Delicious acidity. Great wine, even on day two. (680 views) | | | Tasted by RichD2 on 1/20/2024 & rated 94 points: Seems to be a perfect age at which to drink this but could still improve. (631 views) | | | Tasted by David J Cooper on 11/24/2023 & rated 94 points: Clear light yellow. White smoke, lemon, pear, fresh rain, sea air and lemon grass. Delicious dry slightly creamy lemon flavours and a long dry finish.
This and the Roserock show what an incredible vintage 2019 was for Drouhin in Oregon. (883 views) | | | Tasted by Neecies on 7/19/2023: My wine. At this tasting the first task for every bottle was taking a vote on Old world or New. This one was unanimously but wrongly voted Old, a testament to the style created and persisted with by owner Veronique Drouhin. Loved it at the winery and bought six, of which each bottle has been better than the last, with this one finally showing some Chablis-like secondary development. Outstanding. (1103 views) | | | Tasted by slabslovin on 7/15/2023 & rated 96 points: Spicy, complex, buttery oak. Clean. Great wine. (920 views) | | | Tasted by GuanYu on 5/15/2023 & rated 89 points: Another bottle since June 2022. Citrus, lime, pear, and hint of butter and white flowers. This bottle was similar to the last bottle 11 months ago. Not much progress, except a more pronounced caramel in the finish. Still youthful sugar in the mid-palate and finish. Will need to cellar this for another 6 months to a year to see how it develops inside the bottle. (1060 views) | | | Tasted by VinTypo on 1/8/2023: Meh! (1182 views) | | | Tasted by Deegie on 12/25/2022 & rated 91 points: Beautifully made. Lemon, lime, yellow apple, and a little cream on the nose. On the palate, a beautiful balance of orchard fruit, citrus, and oak along with enough acidity to keep it all moving across the palate. The finish is impressively long with abundant minerality. (984 views) | | | Tasted by Vinnut on 10/14/2022 & rated 92 points: Light golden yellow in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of apples, grapefruit & lemons/limes with overtones of floral notes of honeysuckle & minerals, stony & a slight hint of honey in the background. Medium bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, zesty, ripe fruit flavors of green apples & citrus notes of grapefruits & lemons/limes with minerals, some butterscotch & a slight touch of vanilla. Lingering crisp finish. Drinks quite well at present & should develop further with additional aging. (1182 views) | | | Tasted by BrooklynZin on 8/17/2022 & rated 88 points: Similar to other notes, initially tight, withholding, lacking in warmth or character, albeit with balance and notes of pear. Improved with a few days in the fridge. The best by day five, when it glowed and sang. Likely too young to drink now. (1128 views) | | | Tasted by maxima on 6/24/2022 & rated 89 points: Assez ample et beurré.
Des zestes de citrons, des amandes et du beurre
avec une pointe de pommes.
Assez long et intense en finale.
Il lui manque un peu de fraicheur mais
très bon tout de même. (1777 views) | | | Tasted by GuanYu on 6/4/2022 & rated 89 points: Last time I drank this was about 6 months ago. This time, wine had developed more, and more notes started to emerge than 6 months ago. Hints of citrus, European pear, butter. Wine was still semi-closed and would benefit from a lengthy decant or another 6 months of cellaring. (997 views) | | | Tasted by David J Cooper on 5/25/2022 & rated 92 points: Clear light yellow. Struck match which blew off leaving lemon, tropical fruit, mineral and butter. Dry slightly rich lemon and pear flavours and a long dry textured finish. (975 views) | | | Tasted by Neecies on 5/9/2022: Apple, citrus and minerals; bright yet creamy, cashmere texture. (933 views) | | | Tasted by @sebastienwine on 4/20/2022 & rated 89 points: Nicely balanced #chardonnay showing bright citrus fruits with good oak integration. Drink now and over next 5 years (789 views) | | | Tasted by Clark W Griswold on 3/15/2022 & rated 89 points: Citrus fruits. Simple and clean. Nothing to dislike here. (998 views) | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 2/22/2022 & rated 94 points: Light medium straw yellow color; aromatic, lemon blossom, pear, honeysuckle nose; delicious, medium-plus bodied, layered, pear, honeycrisp apple, honeysuckle, light vanilla palate with good balancing acidity; long finish (13.9% alcohol; Diam 10 cork) 94+ points (844 views) | | | Tasted by Genghis88 on 1/7/2022 & rated 90 points: Pale lime flesh in color
Honey dew, hint of oak. Faint tropical fruit. Nose.
Nice acidity. Wonderfully balanced. Medium finish. Refreshing and youthful. Really good value. I preferred it to the cooler side. Great bottle for large events.
Salmon dinner by Britt (1422 views) | | | Tasted by mwneil on 12/19/2021 & rated 93 points: OK a good wine but 97 come on WA, Oregon has become California, great fruit but decent amount of oak, medium body, it tastes too generic to me, no earthiness or terroir, drank with calamari and flounder, might drink again, 13.9% abv, oh well. (1430 views) | | | Tasted by GuanYu on 11/10/2021 & rated 88 points: Wine was completely closed and subdued. After hours of breathing, lime and residual sugar on the palate. Needs to cellar at least another year for characters to emerge.
Addendum: 2nd day in fridge, the wine opened up a little bit more. Crisp pear was on the palate. More enjoyable than the 1st day. (1452 views) | | | Tasted by KSWinegeek on 10/24/2021 & rated 92 points: Light golden color. Apple and mineral notes. Crisp, non oaky palate (1334 views) | | | Tasted by LMArcher on 8/16/2021: Bright gold robe.
Creme brûlée, curd, vanilla,Stone fruit.
Creamy, smooth rounded, mellow finish. Excellent structure. (1479 views) | | | Tasted by Carib on 7/18/2021 & rated 88 points: Yummy daily drinker, smooth, inviting & self-assured. Very weak finish on day 1. If possible open the day before consuming, or leave something for day 2. I think this one finally came unto its own on day 3, with more structure and better finish. (1154 views) | | | Tasted by Redsquare82 on 5/24/2021 & rated 92 points: Great, crisp Chardonnay without the oakiness of California Chardonnay. Apricots, floral, with good acid. Excellent summer wine. (1047 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

| Domaine Drouhin Oregon Producer website
Domaine Drouhin has been on the viticultural cutting edge in Oregon since their first vintage in 1988, and continues to set the pace.
Winemaker Véronique Drouhin-Boss' roots go deep into her family's 13th century cellars under the streets of Beaune, the heart of Burgundy. She represents the fourth generation of winemakers from this venerable wine family of France, but it is here in Oregon that her skills and passion are bringing forth some of the most sublime Pinot Noir and Chardonnay produced anywhere. With centuries of Burgundian winemaking experience flowing through her blood, Véronique has lovingly crafted every drop of wine produced at Domaine Drouhin Oregon since the first vintage in 1988.
Véronique Boss-Drouhin
Our winemaker extraordinaire produces elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on both sides of the Atlantic.
Véronique Drouhin-Boss, the fourth-generation winemaker of the Drouhin family, has lovingly crafted every drop of wine produced at Domaine Drouhin Oregon since our first vintage in 1988. She also now oversees the winemaking at Maison Joseph Drouhin in Burgundy, producing some of the world's finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines on both sides of the Atlantic.
Véronique's interest in wine and the family business began when she was young, and blossomed under the tutelage of father Robert Drouhin. In 1986, she graduated from the University of Dijon with an advanced degree in enology, and decided to venture to Oregon to expand her experience and learn more about the fledgling industry that was beginning to take root in the Willamette Valley. Véronique interned that year with Adelsheim Vineyards, Bethel Heights, and Eyrie. She has returned to Oregon every year since then to capture the essence of what nature provides in our unique estate vineyards.
In many ways, Véronique embodies the essence of Pinot Noir -- spirited, graceful, and feminine. Her wines at Domaine Drouhin have always been hallmarked by elegance, finesse, purity, and the capacity to improve gracefully with age.
Chardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.Oregon Oregon Wine, Oregon Wineries (Oregon Wine Board)Willamette Valley Willamette Valley Wineries Association | Willamette Valley (Oregon Wine Board)
