In Terroir We Trust – Comparing the Great ‘Crus’ of Burgundy and Oregon

Winemaker Evan Martin’s exploration of Oregon terroir draws much inspiration from the great wines of France. The grape vine’s 10,000-year journey has opened an exciting chapter in the Willamette Valley, where a convergence of beneficial conditions are granting the potential to produce wines of truly exceptional character, with remarkable singularity of place. An international dialogue between peers is active and leading to greater perspective. This blind tasting will pair selections from the Martin Woods portfolio side-by-side with benchmark examples of Chablis, Chassagne-Montrachet, Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanee, Volnay, as well as Saumur and Cote Rotie. A special guest panelist will join Evan in leading the discussion.
