Domaine Drouhin Oregon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Domaine Drouhin Oregon is an Oregon winery known for its pinot noir and chardonnay. The gravity-fed winery is in the Red Hills of Dundee in the northern Willamette Valley of Oregon. It was built in 1988 for $10,000,000 USD by Maison Joseph Drouhin of Beaune, France. Veronique Drouhin is the winemaker.
Domaine Drouhin Oregon, also known as "DDO," is the result, in part, of the 1979-1980 Paris Wine Olympics where David Lett's Oregon's Eyrie Vineyards nearly beat out a French grand cru 1959 Drouhin wine. Robert Drouhin, who had been visiting Oregon since the 1960s, took note, and purchased the Oregon property when notified of it by David Adelsheim of Adelsheim winery.
