The Domaine Drouhin Oregon Cuvᄄᆭe Laurᄄᄄne Pinot Noir is named after Vᄄᆭronique Drouhinᄀᆵs elder daughter, Laurᄄᄄne and is the estate's flagship wine, produced entirely from Pinot Noir grown on the familyᄀᆵs estate in the Dundee Hills. All of the fruit is handpicked into small totes, de-stemmed, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and then placed into barrels (French oak, never more than 20% new). Once the vintage is safely in the cellar, Vᄄᆭronique begins the process of selecting barrels which have an extra complexity, length and depth - barrels which will work together as Laurᄄᄄne. Laurᄄᄄne displays a rich and lively nose, filled with aromas of pretty red fruit, baking spices, orange peel and velvety flower petals. Round on the palate with rustic tannins, flavours of red currant and deep cherry evolve after time. The long and supple finish is spicy and long. Generous in its youth, the cuvᄄᆭe Laurᄄᄄne will mature with elegance and depth. In recent years, Laurᄄᄄne has been named one of the ᄀᄚGreat Wines of Americaᄀᄆ by Paul Lukacs in his book of the same name and ᄀᄚperennially one of Oregonᄀᆵs best winesᄀᄆ by Portland Monthly Magazine. Writer Matt Kramer presented Laurᄄᄄne in his Wine Spectator seminar, ᄀᄚ21st Century Pinot Noir Greatness.ᄀᄆ[#intro]Named one of the Great Wines of America & perennially one of Oregon's best...[/intro]?
