Véronique Drouhin-Boss

Fourth-generation winemaker Véronique Drouhin-Boss is widely admired for her work in Burgundy (Maison Joseph Drouhin) and Oregon (Domaine Drouhin Oregon). She has been designated by her family as keeper of the family style, the person responsible for making sure that all Drouhin wines emphasize elegance, balance and sense of place. Véronique was awarded her oenology degree from the University of Dijon in 1985. The following year she took her advanced degree, also from Dijon, and worked a vintage in Oregon. In 1987, her father, Robert, purchased land in the Dundee Hills of Oregon, established Domaine Drouhin Oregon and named Véronique as winemaker. This began the Drouhin Family's commitment to Oregon, which is an important and active part of their lives. Véronique, married to Michel Boss and mother of three children, lives in Burgundy.
