“The 2012 Pinot Noir Laurene is a barrel selection from the cellar and in this vintage represents around 150 barrels. It is matured in 20 to 25% new oak. Arron mentioned that he has noticed more fruit coming from blocks in the eastern sector of the vineyard being selected for this blend. This has a soft bouquet with red cherries, cranberry leaf, light undergrowth notes and a touch of autumn leaf. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine balance: intermingling red and black fruit, quite sappy in style and inducing fine salinity at the back of the mouth. This possesses a natural flow with a very appealing, Old World-influenced finish. This is very stylish and one of my picks from their current releases.
The Drouhin’s prescient, well-timed venture into Oregon in the late 1980s gave the region a huge boost. Here was one of Burgundy’s grandees putting their stake into the ground in what was back then a fledgling wine region, an act that ensured many around the world take notice. Therefore, a visit to their winery was one of the first that I booked. I was fortunate to arrive on a blissful, sunny winter’s morning, the Willamette Valley blanketed in fog below us and azure sky above. Before tasting their recent releases, I had to stand on the veranda for a couple of minutes just “inhaling” the view. ”
