The 2011 Domaine Drouhin ‘Laurene’ is a sensational effort from this cooler vintage in Oregon. This takes on a classic Burgundian nose with forest floor, white truffle oil, red currant puree and suggestions of white pepper. I love the elegance of this wine aromatically. The mouthfeel and texture to this wine screams elegance, as it is surprising that they were able to attain this level of concentration despite the coldness of the vintage. Red cherry puree, damp earth, cran-raspberry and orange zest flavors marvelously combine. Elegant and esteemed, this is a stunning effort by Domaine Drouhin that will cellar marvelously over the next decade. Drink 2018-2028- 94

Burgundian style but but high 13.9 but good balance and deep blend of red/black fruit profiles.

From a great house. This 11 is just seeming beyond peak but expresses the attributes of a good cold vintage Pinot

Cheese & Hors d'oeuvres. Spicy nose. Precision & nuance on the palate.
