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 took second place behind a 1959 Drouhin wine. Robert Drouhin, who had been visiting Oregon since the 1960s purchased the Oregon property when notified of it by David Adelsheim of Adelsheim winery.
