The Wine

L’élégance is a wine that exemplifies artistry and design. The grapes were grown on Soléna Estate’s home vineyard, Domaine Danielle Laurent. Nestled in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, this site benefits from biodynamic farming practices that enrich the life of our soil. To craft this signature wine, Laurent selected three different blocks from the vineyard, each showcasing distinct characteristics and personalities. Together they create a beautifully orchestrated symphony of flavors, showcasing the elegant expression of Pinot noir.

The wine shows notes of dark cherry and chocolate-covered coffee beans. It has a lingering mouthfeel of dark fruit framed with nicely integrated tannins.

The Winery

After successful careers in the Oregon wine industry, the husband-and-wife team of Laurent Montalieu and Danielle Andrus Montalieu purchased an 80-acre estate to commemorate their marriage in 2000. In May 2002, they launched Soléna by bottling their first vintage of Domaine Danielle Laurent Pinot Noir. Soléna is the combination of the French and Spanish words soleil and luna, celebrating the sun and the moon, and the name that Laurent and Danielle gave to their daughter.
