THE WINE
L’élégance is a wine that exemplifies artistry and design. The grapes were grown on Soléna Estate’s home vineyard, Domaine Danielle Laurent. Nestled in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, this site benefits from biodynamic farming practices that enrich the life of our soil. To craft this signature wine, Laurent selected three different blocks from the vineyard, each showcasing distinct characteristics. Together they create a beautifully orchestrated symphony of flavors—an elegant expression of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir.
THE WINERY
Soléna is a combination of Solana and Soleil, celebrating the sun, the moon, and cycles of life. We were launched in May of 2000 with our 80-acre estate—now the Domaine Danielle Laurent vineyard. Furthering their successful careers in Oregon wine, Laurent Montalieu and Danielle Andrus Montalieu gifted this vineyard to each other for their wedding, and began making wine called Soléna after their daughter. Soléna Estate showcases the beauty of terroir in our site-specific wines; both from our estate vineyards in Yamhill-Carlton and McMinnville AVAs, and iconic vineyards around the Northwest. We're well known for consistent, ageable Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
