RoseRock is the Oregon passion project of the Drouhin family, of Domaine Drouhin Oregon and Maison Joseph Drouhin fame. The winemaking roots of this family date back to 1880 in the Burgundy region of France. A century later, Maison Joseph Drouhin ventured out of Beaune with the establishment of Domaine Drouhin Oregon, in the Willamette Valley’s Dundee Hills. Today, the Drouhin family’s commitment to exploring and expressing the terroirs of Oregon has blossomed at RoseRock in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. Sustainable and organic agriculture advocate Philippe Drouhin continues the family's history as RoseRock's Vineyard Manager along with his sister, winemaker Véronique Boss-Drouhin, a graduate in oenology whose post-graduate work focused on Pinot Noir. She has also produced Chardonnay along with Pinot Noir for the last 30+ years in France and now Oregon.
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. Fruit Source: Roserock Vineyard. AVA: Eola-Amity Hills. Sustainable Certification: LIVE.

The 2019 Chardonnay from Domaine Drouhin Roserock is absolutely stunning, and I simply can't put it down. It explodes with singular scents of fenugreek, sage and dried flowers streaked with graphite, and it glides across the palate like satin, an integrated tang drawing out lemongrass-like accents that add a touch of exoticism to this cuvée. It finishes with extraordinary length.

The 2019 is a stellar vintage with tremendous vitality and precision. The crisp apple fruit is underscored with refreshing minerality. And as the wine breathes open, a lick of butterscotch runs through the finish. The ageability of top Oregon Chardonnays is just beginning to be noted outside of the state, but wines such as this will certainly enhance the reputation. Drink now through the mid-2030s.
