Domaine Drouhin Laurène Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2021

96 Points                                           One of Oregon's top Pinot Noirs from Domaine Drouhin, the Laurène is always limited. 96 Points International Wine Report: "A shimmering medium ruby-purple core with a light purple rim, the 2021 Laurène Pinot Noir sports scandalous aromas of fresh macerated strawberries, cranberry sauce, grapefruit zest, milk chocolate, and black tea. Spicy on the palate with gobs of acidity, fine-grained sweet tannins, and tilled earthy notes that hit the back of the palate." Named after Véronique Boss-Drouhin’s elder daughter, Laurène is our flagship wine and is produced entirely from Pinot Noir grown on the family’s estate in the Dundee Hills. The fruit is handpicked into small totes, destemmed, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and then placed into French Oak barrels. Once the vintage is safely in the cellar, Véronique begins the process of selecting barrels which have an extra complexity, length, and depth — barrels which will work together as Laurène.
