Product details
Domaine Drouhin Oregon, established in 1987 by the renowned Drouhin family of Burgundy, has been a pioneer in producing exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Oregon's Dundee Hills. The 2023 Chardonnay Arthur exemplifies their commitment to quality and tradition. Crafted exclusively from 100% Dijon clones planted on the family's estate since 1990, this wine reflects the unique terroir of the region. The estate's 235-acre vineyard, with its gentle slopes and rich soils, provides an ideal environment for cultivating premium Chardonnay grapes. The winery's four-level gravity-flow design ensures gentle handling of the fruit, preserving its inherent qualities throughout the winemaking process.
The 2023 Chardonnay Arthur greets the senses with an expressive bouquet of orange blossom, lemon, and green apple, complemented by a hint of baking spice. On the palate, a delightful minerality intertwines with flavors of citrus, baked apple, and honeysuckle, leading to a balanced richness and impressive length. Its vibrant acidity and mineral essence make it a versatile companion to a variety of dishes. This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with seafood, poultry, and creamy pasta dishes. For optimal enjoyment, consider cellaring this wine for a few years to allow its flavors to mature gracefully.
