Domaine Drouhin Oregon
ドメーヌ・ドルーアン・オレゴン
Burgundian elegance meets the unique terroir of Oregon's Dundee Hills.
Established in 1987 by the iconic Burgundy house Maison Joseph Drouhin, Domaine Drouhin Oregon (DDO) represents a perfect marriage between French winemaking heritage and the unique terroir of the Dundee Hills. Robert Drouhin chose this site for its remarkable similarity to Burgundy, entrusting his daughter, Véronique Drouhin-Boss, to lead the winemaking. The estate focuses on high-density plantings of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, utilizing gravity-flow winemaking techniques to produce elegant, refined wines that express a distinct sense of place while honoring the family's Burgundian roots.

Pinot Noir
RedPinot Noir
The entry-level expression of Domaine Drouhin Oregon, this Pinot Noir is the ideal introduction to the estate's Burgundian-inspired philosophy in the Willamette Valley. Crafted from estate and purchased fruit across the Dundee Hills, it delivers a classic Oregon Pinot Noir profile: vibrant red cherry, raspberry, and subtle forest floor aromas with silky tannins and refreshing acidity. While the prestige cuvée Laurène is sourced exclusively from the original Drouhin estate block and aged longer in new French oak, this bottling offers a more approachable, fruit-forward style that still reflects the elegance and finesse the Drouhin family is renowned for in Burgundy.
