USA | Oregon | Drouhin Oregon Roserock

Philippe, Laurent, Véronique and Frédéric Drouhin | Owners

T his family adventure in Oregon, initiated by Robert Drouhin, took a new leap forward in 2013 with the acquisition of Roserock Vineyards. This property, nestled in the Eola-Amity Hills, encompasses 276.7 acres (112 hectares), including 133.4 acres (54 hectares) of vineyards. Like the first vineyard, the estate is predominantly planted with Pinot Noir and a bit of Chardonnay. “What excites us is having two different terroirs, both of volcanic origin, with a slightly cooler microclimate at Roserock,” emphasizes the family. As a result, the wine style exhibits nuances: the wines from Dundee Hills are charming and silky, while those from Eola-Amity Hills are more structured and vibrant. “These nuances can be compared to the differences between Chambolle-Musigny and Gevrey-Chambertin in Burgundy.”
