The wine region of Columbia Gorge
Binational Oregon-Washington AVA on the Columbia River, nicknamed "a world of wine in 40 miles". Spectacular diversity: 30+ grapes across microclimates (cool maritime west, warm continental east). Fine Pinot Noir to the west with notes of cherry, undergrowth, raspberry and spice, silky tannins. Taut Riesling (lemon, white apple), aromatic Gewürztraminer (lychee, rose).
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: Pigeage
Operation consisting of a vertical treading to push the cap of marc into the wine, which promotes extraction. Pigeage can be carried out mechanically with jacks that plunge into the vat. Traditionally, it is the men who go down into the vats and push the cap by trampling it.
