The combined spirit of Oregon innovation, and French tradition has driven the Domaine Divio dream from the outset. Their philosophy is rooted in making minimal intervention wines, that showcase the terr wahr of the Willamette Valley, while respecting the land through sustainable and biodynamic farming techniques.
Oregon wine by essence; Burgundian by style.
TERR WAHR:
“Terr wahr consists of all the factors pertaining to a particular site that, when taken together as a whole, determine the level of potential wine quality that has nothing to do with the skills of the winemaker.”
Says Bruno Corneau, Winemaker and Proprietor.
Once Bruno, Isabelle, and André, had decided that the Willamette Valley would be the perfect place, to forge their dream of making the best Pino Noir and Chardonnay, they started looking for a piece of land that had the most similarities to Bruno’s hometown in Burgundy. It quickly became evident that the Ribbon Ridge A-V-A, checked all these boxes.
Isabelle enjoys having members of the Domaine Divio family experience the magic of Burgundy, in a classic Oregonian setting.
André is pursuing his dreams of finding the best soil in which to grow and produce the purest Pino Noir, the “Holy Grail”.
In 2014 the Clos Gallia property was purchased and Pino Noir and Chardonnay vines were planted.
CHERISHING THE LAND THROUGH SUSTAINABLE FARMING:
“As a fourth-generation grape grower in Burgundy, I know the importance of caring for the land. If you nurture it, it will reward you."
Says Bruno
Eco-friendly, sustainable farming methods, encouraging natural growth through dry farming, organic and biodynamic practices were adopted from day one.
While the technical aspects of biodynamic farming are complex, the overarching concept is not. The method strives to create an ecological balance in the vineyard, by promoting and enhancing biodiversity. This is achieved through grass and legume growth between the vineyard rows, diverse tree plantings on the estate, beneficial insect habitat support, and by developing wetland areas throughout the property.
No artificial chemicals or conventional sprays are used. Instead, a variety of biodynamic preparations and methods are utilized to promote a healthy ecosystem and growing environment. The vineyard is also farmed without irrigation, in order to force the vine roots to go deep through multiple layers of soil, in the search for water, giving their fruit more complexity, and highlighting the essence of the Ribbon Ridge A-V-A.
WINE MAKING:
Their approach to wine making is low intervention. Let the fruit express itself.
The same respect and attention that is given to the vineyard is given to the wines. Crafted in a traditional Burgundian style with minimal intervention, each wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered.
The wines reflect the beauty and rustic elegance of the Willamette Valley.
