The wine region of Chehalem Mountains
Most geologically diverse AVA of the Willamette Valley (Oregon), peaking at Bald Peak: signature Pinot Noir as red king (~70%) — elegant and complex with notes of cherry, red fruits, earth, game, spices and a mineral touch, fine tannins from red basaltic volcanic (Jory), marine sedimentary (Willakenzie) and aeolian loess soils. Fresh Pinot Gris and Chardonnay in support. AVA (2006), 60-500 m, cool climate, ~1,075 ha across 179 vineyards.
The wine region of Oregon
American benchmark for fresh, elegant Pinot Noir. Fine, silky reds with signature notes of red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, undergrowth and spice, delicate tannins and taut freshness — the closest style to Burgundy outside France. Iconic Willamette Valley on volcanic (Jory) and marine soils. Also precise, mineral Chardonnay, ample Pinot Gris (pear, honey), taut Riesling.
The word of the wine: Draft liquor (champagne)
After blending, the wine is bottled with a liqueur de tirage (a mixture of sugar and wine) and a yeast (selected yeasts). The yeast attacks the sugar and creates carbon dioxide. The fermentation, which lasts about two months, is prolonged by an ageing period (15 months minimum in total). The bottle is capped (some rare vintages are capped with a staple and a cork).
