Domaine Drouhin Oregon Dundee Hills Pinot Noir

Willamette Valley, USA

The Burgundian benchmark for Willamette Valley — Véronique Drouhin-Boss's Dundee Hills Pinot Noir from the distinctive Jory volcanic red soils that give Oregon Pinot its characteristic structure and mineral depth. Red cherry, strawberry, violet, cedar, and the precise, cool-climate elegance that makes this wine the bridge between Burgundy and Oregon. The defining statement of what Willamette can achieve.

Pairing intelligence

• main: The Pacific Northwest's greatest fish and Oregon's most Burgundian Pinot Noir — salmon's rich oil bridges the wine's cherry and mineral character; sorrel's acidity mirrors the wine's freshness; pea purée's sweetness complements the red fruit
• main: Oregon lamb and the Dundee Hills Pinot — the wine's structure and minerality supports the lamb's richness; rosemary bridges the wine's herbal notes; garlic's transformation to sweetness complements the red fruit character
