Willakenzie Estate

A passion for Pinot Noir with a deep understanding and sense of the terrain - this is what defines WillaKenzie Estate, a family winery located in the heart of the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Bernard Lacroute decided to return to his Burgundian roots and buy a 170-hectare property in 1991. He is convinced that this area in Oregon is the best in all of North America for Pinot Noir and is comparable to the great wines of Burgundy. The first wine was bottled in 1995 in the newly built winery. The vineyards of the winery have the largest branch diversity in the whole valley. More than 11 different Pinot Noir branches give blends structure and complexity. As a result, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris from the Willamette River Valley are a demonstration of the region's elegance.
