Domaine Roy et Fils began in 2012 with Marc-André Roy and Jared Etzel who continue in their father’s footsteps (partners of Beaux Freres Winery, established in 1991). Over 20 years later, the two families have kept the same focus of producing top quality wine through meticulous and almost obsessive work in the estate vineyards.

Dundee Estate is located in the epicenter of the Willamette Valley, a former hazelnut orchard that we planted in 2013 to thirteen high density acres of pinot noir and two acres of chardonnay, which we farm organically.
A south facing hillside single panel, ranging in elevation from 400 to 600 feet with a volcanic soil profile embedded with basalt rock.
Carlton Estate is surrounded by an oak savannah to the south and east, we planted twenty-four acres of pinot noir and two acres of chardonnay that is farmed organically. The vineyard elevation ranges from 360 feet to 550 feet and has south and east exposures, with mineral driven marine sedimentary soils speckled with a unique occurrence of crystalline quartz.

The 2015 Maison Roy & fils Petite Incline is comprised of a blend of vineyards from the Dundee Hills & Yamhill Carlton. The Petite Incline is a selection of barrels that show the earliest accessibility and allow for prime drinking on release. The color is lighter, the tannins are soft and the wine is quite floral. The aromatics present red berries, mint and dried herbs whilst the palate shows ripe red fruit and a round lighthearted profile that will provide optimal drinking for the next 5-6 years.

GROWING SEASON
2015 in the Willamette Valley was a vintage of bountiful yields and opulence resultant of the record warmth. The fruit set was high and the berry size small, which produced deeply, concentrated wines. The 2015 growing season had fewer heat spikes than 2014, which allowed for lower alcohol levels and fine balance. It is early to definitively comment but we suspect the 2015 to be a year that will age very well and be touted as one of the superlative vintages of the decade in Oregon.
