Roses are beautiful moments in time. Rocks are pieces of a greater whole. Drouhin Oregon Roserock is the newest chapter in the Drouhin story, extending from Burgundy’s Côte d’Or and Chablis, to the Dundee Hills of Oregon, and now Oregon’s Eola-Amity Hills.
Drouhin Oregon Roserock continues a four-generation story that began in 1880 when Joseph Drouhin moved from Chablis to Beaune, in the heart of Burgundy. His son, Maurice Drouhin, expanded the family’s estate, including his purchase of the family’s signature vineyard, Clos des Mouches. Joseph’s grandson, Robert Drouhin, developed the estate even further, buying spectacular premier cru and grand cru vineyards and reestablishing the family’s heritage in Chablis. It was also Robert who ventured to Oregon in 1987, when there were barely 50 wineries, but unlimited promise. His children, Philippe, Véronique, Laurent and Frédéric Drouhin are now in charge of the family business worldwide.
The connecting thread is the Drouhin Family itself, a tight-knit group dedicated to land, vine and wine—three things that have sustained them through the years. Now, tradition, experience, consistency, and excellence are their calling cards.
