It was the Drouhin's who were the first Burgundy family to stake a major claim into this now world-renowned wine region back in 1987. In 2013, the Drouhin family purchased the Roserock property; an extraordinary vineyard at the southern tip of the Eola-Amity Hills, in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Ancient volcanic soils and an ideal elevation range produce classic cool-climate Pinot Noirs that evoke a true sense of place. During the warm growing season, ocean breezes funneled through Oregon's Coast Range blow along the Van Duzer Corridor every evening, chilling this part of the Eola-Amity Hills more than ten degrees cooler than northern Willamette Valley sub-appellations. These maritime winds make for fruit that's lively with acidity and distinct in its freshness of flavor.
As a testament to the Drouhin family's commitment to sustainable viticulture that supports soil health and biodiversity, the property is LIVE certified. LIVE (Low Input Viticulture & Enology) meets strict international standards for environmentally and socially responsible winegrowing.
JEB DUNNUCK 94 POINTS - "Fresh and inviting, the 2024 Chardonnay Roserock pours a bright golden apple/straw color and offers notes of crushed stone, orange blossom, savory wax, poached pear, and preserved citrus oil. Medium to full-bodied, it has mouthwatering acidity, a soft, stony texture, crystalline purity, and bright citrus accents that linger beautifully. Drink over the coming 8-10 years."
ANTONIO GALLONI'S VINOUS MEDIA 93 POINTS - "The 2024 Chardonnay Roserock is remarkably pretty, with a blend of crushed yellow apples and wildflowers, plus hints of ginger and lime zest. It possesses a lovely inner sweetness and round textures while displaying notes of Asian pear and mint on the palate. Refined and long, it leaves honied inner florals and a subtle citrus tinge. The value here is unprecedented."
WINE SPECTATOR 93 POINTS - "Vivacious and fresh, this white shows detailed lemon, nectarine, spice and stony mineral tones that gather steely acidity and tension on the finish. Drink now."
