About this wine
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.
A world-class example of Oregon Pinot Noir that perfectly balances New World fruit intensity with Old World elegance.

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.
