90 acres of hillside vineyards that unfold within the 225-acre estate of Domaine Drouhin Oregon.  Placed atop the  Dundee Hills, between 400 and 800 feet in elevation.  This site is extraordinarily similar in climate, latitude, and characteristics of the legendary  vineyards of Burgundy.

The old press at Domaine Drouhin is one that is steeped in history, used in an earlier period from the Burgundy region.
"I would like to think that one day, people will taste Oregon wines, and particularly our wines and will say 'it is really true to the classic Burgundian Pinot Noir.  Not a Cote de Beaune, not a Cote de Nuits, but uniquely Oregon." - Robert Drouhin


"The Sign of Great Wine"
