Domaine Drouhin is home to 90 acres of hillside vineyards in the heart of Oregon's Red Hills, producing stunning Pinot noirs and Chardonnays that are noted internationally for their pure expression of fruit, superior balance, silky texture, and classical elegance.

Winemaker Véronique Drouhin-Boss' roots go deep - deep into her family's 13th century cellars under the streets of Beaune, the heart of Burgundy . She represents the fourth generation of winemakers from this venerable wine family of France , but it is here in Oregon that Véronique's skills and passion are bringing forth some of the most sublime Pinot noir and Chardonnay produced anywhere.

With centuries of Burgundian winemaking experience flowing through her blood, not to mention her advanced enology degree from the University of Dijon, Véronique has lovingly crafted every drop of wine produced at Domaine Drouhin Oregon since the first vintage in 1988. She seeks always to capture the essence of what nature has provided in their unique estate vineyards each year, rather than trying to dictate a particular style. Véronique herself is the embodiment of the essence of Pinot noir - spirited, graceful, and feminine. Her wines at Domaine Drouhin have always been hallmarked by elegance, finesse, purity, and the capacity to improve gracefully with age.

"Right from the beginning, one property seemed to be able to produce a wine which was purer, more cleanly fruity, and certainly more Burgundian than the others. It was, of course, Domaine Drouhin." - Clive Coates

Véronique travels frequently between her home on the estate in Oregon and her home in Beaune. She and her husband have three young children. Domaine Drouhin's "reserve" bottling is named after their oldest daughter, Laurène.

David Millman has just joined DDO as Managing Director, replacing DDO's friend for life Scott Paul Wright, who has left to pursue his Scott Paul wines full-time. David comes to the Red Hills from Los Angeles , where he owned a PR & Marketing firm specializing in wineries (including DDO) and musicians (Chicago, Sheila E., Acoustic Alchemy, David Sylvian, Harold Budd). We never told him that it rains here in Oregon . A lot.

Véronique's brother Philippe Drouhin is in charge of all Drouhin estate vineyards in Oregon and in Burgundy , and he travels to Oregon to fine-tune the vines frequently throughout the year.
