Domaine Drouhin Oregon Roserock Zéphirine Pinot Noir 2022
Zéphirine Pinot Noir is a barrel selection cuvée from the Roserock vineyard, and is a reference expression of the site. Zéphirine conveys purity and beauty, reflects winemaker Véronique Drouhin’s dedication to elegance and finesse, and will age meaningfully for years to come. The name refers to the Zéphirine Drouhin variety of climbing rose, which is known for its fragrance and beauty.
The 2022 Zéphirine Pinot Noir embodies the poetic qualities of our Roserock vineyard. It is alive with aromas of freshly picked raspberries, citrus, and marionberries, followed by delicate traces of rose petals and violets. On the palate, there is a vibrant mix of juicy strawberries, cardamom, fruit, and spice. Both subtle and strong-willed, the 2022 Zéphirine is charming in its youth, with a silky-smooth texture and balanced structure that promise a long future.
