Domaine Drouhin Laurène Pinot Noir 2023

Dundee Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA

An exceptional Oregon Pinot Noir showcasing the elegance, complexity and finesse of the Drouhin family's Burgundian heritage.

Named in honour of Véronique Drouhin's daughter, Laurène is one of Domaine Drouhin Oregon's most prestigious wines, crafted from carefully selected estate-grown Pinot Noir in the celebrated Dundee Hills. It represents the pinnacle of the family's commitment to producing wines of remarkable elegance, purity and sophistication.

The 2023 vintage offers an enticing bouquet of ripe black cherry, wild raspberry and red plum, complemented by delicate notes of violet, rose petal, sweet spice and subtle forest floor. The palate is beautifully layered and expressive, with concentrated red and dark berry flavours, silky fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. Gentle oak nuances and savoury complexity add depth, leading to a long, graceful and wonderfully persistent finish.

Richly textured yet remarkably refined, Laurène combines the generosity of Oregon Pinot Noir with the precision and elegance of fine Burgundy. Beautifully balanced and structured, this is a wine offering immediate appeal while possessing excellent potential for further development in the cellar.

A superb, sophisticated Pinot Noir of exceptional pedigree, delivering remarkable depth, elegance and finesse.

Food pairing: Roast duck, lamb, wild mushroom risotto, truffle dishes, roast game birds and aged cheeses.
