Domaine Drouhin's Arthur is fresh & inviting on the nose, with beautiful citrus, lemon zest, grapefruit, white flowers such as magnolia, even some stony character, & a hint of toast. The acidity & the sense of minerality will remind you of Chablis, but the mouthfeel is purely Oregon. Very complex, this Chardonnay could be cellared for a couple years. Ripe, healthy fruit was h&-picked into small totes, & then whole-cluster pressed. Half of the juice was fermented in French Oak barrels (30% new) to create a round, rich texture. The other half was fermented & aged in stainless steel to maintain the purest & most elegant expression of Chardonnay. Limited stock. ...

A fresh, floral nose of acacia & magnolia blends beautifully with almond notes & a hint of anise. Elegant & refined, the texture has density without weight. Flavours of pear, lychee & a touch of lemon custard present a complex, harmonious picture now, but the lively balance means you can easily cellar the 2016 Arthur for the next three to five years. ...

This is a drier style of Condrieu, but it presents the richness typical to the appellation as reflected by its lovely golden glow. Opulent on the nose, it offers superb aromas of violet, acacia flowers, apricot & dried fruits with a hint of spice. Sweetness & acidity are perfectly balanced giving a rich, yet fresh, wine.

Domaine Drouhin - Pinot Noir, Willlamette Valley 2009 75cl Bottle

The 2009 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley is deep and vibrant, with brilliant colour and excellent clarity. Aromatically, the wine is quite open, even opulent - a mix of velvety rose petals, violets and spices. On the palate, the texture is lush and mouth-coating, but well-balanced. Together, they provide definition and intensity, followed by refined, silky tannins. The finish is quite long, with beautiful cherry notes, reminding me of fresh cobbler in the peak of summer. While the 09 will age quite well, it is to my personal taste, delicious to drink today. - Veronique Drouhin-Boss, January, 2011 In the Willamette Valley, 2009 will be remembered as an exceptionally long growing season that ended in a relatively relaxed, even harvest. The accumulated heat throughout the
season, in addition to a September heat spike, yielded wines with full fruit character - powerful but balanced. Much like 2004 and 2006, these are wines that have an immediate charm but will age gracefully.
