95pts International Wine Report

94pts James Suckling

Dried flowers, dried lemon rind, fresh apples, baking spices and stone on the nose, followed by a medium body with fresh acidity. Refined, silky and poised, with a polished texture. It’s harmonious and well-crafted with a vibrant finish. Drink or hold.

93pts Wine Enthusiast

This is truly a hedonistic treat. The delights begin with rich lemon gelato and rosemary aromas that burst from the glass. The equally rich flavor of an orange creamsicle melds with bits of saline and lime zest. Gentle acidity wraps it all up into a plush ball of enjoyment.

92pts Vinous

The 2022 Chardonnay Roserock is youthfully understated and savory, with dusty florals and ginger-spiked green apples forming its delicate bouquet. This is cool-toned and perfumed within, beautifully lifted and finessed with ripe pit fruits, gaining a creamy texture the longer it sits on the palate. This finishes long with a mineral clay-like resonance and lingering floral complexities.

Tasting Notes

The 2022 Roserock Chardonnay is a ray of sunshine from our vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills. The pale flaxen yellow hue hints at the vintage’s fresh charm. A swirl of zesty lemon curd, white flowers, thyme, and a hint of sea breeze all combine in a fresh and complex nose. On the palate, the wine tilts to the lighter side of medium-bodied, with a balanced mix of orange burst, pie, peach pit, and a touch of vanilla. The delicious finish is bright and round. A very charming wine. Santé!

Winemaker Notes

Our Roserock Chardonnay brings together the estate’s three Chardonnay blocks, which are handpicked and sorted. The Chardonnay is pressed immediately, and sent in equal parts to tank and barrel. Once malolactic fermentation is complete, Véronique assembles the two portions into her final cuvée.

Winery Notes

Drouhin Oregon Roserock is the newest chapter in the Drouhin story, extending from Burgundy's Cote d’Or and Chablis, to the Dundee Hills of Oregon, and now Oregon's Eola-Amity Hills.

Drouhin Oregon Roserock continues a four-generation story that began in 1880 when Joseph Drouhin moved from Chablis to Beaune, in the heart of Burgundy. In Oregon, as in Burgundy, the Drouhin Family farms singular, expressive parcels of land. The Roserock Vineyard sits at the southern tip of the Eola-Amity Hills, in Oregon's Willamette Valley and is marked by volcanic soils, cooler temperatures and an ideal elevation range. Farmed by Phillipe Drouhin, Roserock is certified sustainable
