Pronounced “ÅŒ-Bane,” Aubaine is the French term for Windfall which is one of the estate vineyards that will be used in future vintages, starting in 2024. The green wave on the label represents the Eola-Amity Hills, and the blue wave represents the winds of the Van Duzer Corridor. Our inaugural release was the 2019 vintage, coming from our beautiful Anahata vineyard.
We currently have two separate estate vineyards. The first is AtTheJoy, a high end luxury retreat surrounded by the Anahata vineyard. The name of the vineyard is the Sanskrit word for the heart chakra, with blocks named after translations of the word JOY. Planted in 2015 to various clones of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Anahata is the first offering of our single vineyard estate wine project.
Our second legacy property is the Windfall vineyard. A 117 acre masterpiece which sits on the west side of the Eola-Amity Hills, staring directly at the Van Duzer corridor. The winds passing through this corridor create the perfect environment for the southwest facing vineyard, which will soon show wines of world class beauty. Long warm days with cool nights perfectly create the ideal growing experience for our Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

A native of Quebec, Isabelle Meunier studied winemaking and viticulture at the University of Dijon in Burgundy, and in New Zealand at Lincoln University. For years, she mastered her skills under the mentorship of some of the world’s most revered winemakers; French-Canadian Pascal Marchand at Domaine de la Vougeraie in Burgundy, Blair Walter at Felton Road in New Zealand, and Dominique Lafon of Domaine des Comtes Lafon.
Isabelle moved to the Willamette Valley in 2007 to start the Evening Land project which she oversaw until 2014. Shortly after, she started her own winery venture, LAVINEA, an artisan production of distinctive single-vineyard Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. She has embraced the opportunity to involve herself in select winemaking projects, one of those being our highly acclaimed Aubaine wine project. Isabelle is excited to continue exploring our wonderful estate vineyards and to expertly craft many future vintages from these amazing sites.
