Domaine Drouhin Laurène 2010
Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesNamed after winemaker Véronique Drouhin's daughter, Laurène there is little doubt this is one of the star labels of the property. The estate fruit is handled with utmost care, handpicked and fermented with indigenous yeasts. It's aged in less than 20% new oak and finally only the best barrels are selected to be included in Laurène. In 2010 the wine sings with a sensational nose of dried herbs, strawberries, rhubarb and a hint of pepper. The tannin adds structure before melting in your mouth. Soft round juicy and supple it is the pinnacle of pinot noir with grace and elegance. Is it the best ever?Tasted: 29 June 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $78.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
