The Wine

This special blend combines two of our most singular blocks at Domaine de Broglie. The most vigorous Pinot noir vines on our estate vineyard are Pommard vines found at the bottom of the steep slope in Block G, in a relatively deep pocket of Jory soil. These grapes tend to ripen early and show intense, lush fruit. The second block, Block C, lies at the top of the hill, where 20-year-old 777 vines set fewer and smaller clusters with a slower ripening, yielding wines with deeper color and richer texture. This wine is a 50/50 blend of these two lots, made in a rare vintage where both blocks experienced almost ideal ripening conditions.

At Domaine de Broglie, we primarily produce single-block and clone-designated Pinot noirs. This unique project was an exciting opportunity to blend two clones grown in two distinct blocks of our estate vineyard. Each of these two clones, 777 and Pommard, brings their own personality to the table and the near-perfect growing conditions in 2018 created an opportunity to combine them in this complementary blend.

The Winery

Domaine de Broglie sits on the crest of the Dundee Hills, overlooking a sloping, 42-acre estate vineyard. Named after Nobel Prize-winning physicist Louis de Broglie, the first Francis Ford Coppola winery in Oregon continues a Family Coppola tradition of paying tribute to scientific accomplishments. Under the guidance of Winemaker David Petterson, Domaine de Broglie produces a line of premium, single-vineyard and block-designate Pinot noir, as well as Pinot gris and a newly released Chardonnay.
