Domaine Drouhin

What Domaine Drouhin does

Domaine Drouhin Oregon is a privately held, family-owned winery established in 1987 in the Dundee Hills of Oregon's Willamette Valley by Robert Drouhin of the fourth-generation Burgundian Maison Joseph Drouhin (founded 1880 in Beaune, France). The company grows Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on a 235-acre Dundee Hills estate — with 130-135 acres under vine, certified sustainable by L.I.V.E. — and produces wines in a four-level gravity flow winery completed in 1989 that minimizes mechanical handling and preserves delicate varietal character. It expanded its Oregon footprint with the 2013 acquisition of the 122-acre Roserock Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA (volcanic soils, cooler temperatures), the 2022 acquisition of Methven Family Vineyards in the same AVA, and the 2024 launch of a dedicated Roserock winery led by winemaker Isabelle Dutartre, while fourth-generation Véronique Drouhin oversees winemaking across both Oregon and Burgundy.
