J J 1, l 1 I THE FIRST ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL PINOTNOIR CELEBRATION Me MIN N V ILL E, 0 REG 0 N 1 - 9 - 8 - 7 Welcome Welcome to the first International Pinot Noir Celebration! This festival is, in many ways, a unique and historic event. Winemakers and winelovers have gathered together in one of the world's newest wine-producing regions to celebrate the beauty and diversity of one of the world's oldest and most noble wine varieties, Pinot noir. For all its delightful qualities, Pinot noir is an extremely difficult wine variety to grow and to produce. There are only a few regions in the world where it can be grown successfully. In the winery, too, Pinot noir must be treated with great care, respect, and love by the people who transform the grapes into wine. The wines are necessarily rare and expensive; as a result, they are too little known, understood, and enjoyed. The producers of Pinot noir who have come here for this celebration represent some of the best vineyards and wineries of France, Califor­ nia, and Oregon. They have brought examples of their finest Pinot noirs to taste, explore, and enjoy. The climates and soils of their regions are as different as the people who have made the wines, and will reflect these differences. We have gathered together this weekend not in competition, but in the spirit of friendship and the mutual pursuit of Pinot noir ... in all its wonderful diversity!

Speakers BURGUNDY ROBERT DROUHIN Upon the death of his uncle, Maurice, in 1957, Robert Drouhin became head of the firm Mai­ son Joseph Drouhin. He was 23 years old. Realizing that the demand for red and white Burgundy wine would grow while the amount of vineyard land was limited, he has extended the estate into the Cote de Nuits and Chablis. Though Drouhin has incorporated much new technology into the production of Burgundy, the image of tradition and authenticity of origin remain the goals for his wines. FRANCOIS GERMAIN M. Germain is the current owner of Domaine Jacques Germain, which he has managed since 1970. During much of that time, he used his education in business to work for several wine negociants, including 17 years as director of Ropiteau Freres. Since 1982, he has devoted full-time to the expansion and planting of his vineyards, the vinification of his wines and their sale. CHRISTOPHE ROUMIER Jean-Marie Roumier has shared the vineyard and winemaking responsibilities at Domaine Georges Roumier with his son, Christophe, since 1981. Christophe has already earned a reputation as a thoughtful, informed, and criti­ cal winemaker and is respected by other Bur­ gundy winemakers for his technical tasting skills.
