Situated in Oregon’s esteemed Yamhill-Carlton AVA, Abbott Claim is dedicated to producing wines of the highest caliber, wines that embody the distinctive terroir of the Willamette Valley. Established on the historic John F. Abbott land claim, the estate’s 34 acres of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay flourish in ancient marine sedimentary soils, nurtured through organic and regenerative farming practices.
Under the guidance of winemaker Alban Debeaulieu, Abbott Claim crafts wines of exceptional depth and character. Their commitment to excellence was recently recognized, with Decanter naming Abbott Claim’s Due North Pinot Noir the best American wine of 2024. Employing native fermentations and minimal intervention, the winery ensures each bottle reflects the land’s unique essence.
The winery, artfully integrated into the estate’s hillside, offers an intimate setting for guests to experience the unique synergy of place, craft, and history that defines Abbott Claim.
