Named after Véronique Boss-Drouhin's eldest daughter, Laurene is the flagship cuvée of Domaine Drouhin Oregon. Sourced exclusively from the family's estate in the Dundee Hills, this wine embodies the philosophy of 'French Soul, Oregon Soil.' It is crafted using traditional Burgundian techniques, including fermentation with indigenous yeasts and aging in French oak barrels. The result is a wine of remarkable elegance, complexity, and structural integrity, characterized by vibrant red and black fruit notes, subtle spice, and a silky, refined texture that reflects the unique volcanic Jory soils of the region.
This is an essential benchmark for any serious Pinot Noir collector; its seamless integration of terroir and technique makes it an absolute masterpiece.
