2017 | Resonance | Decouverte Vineyard Choix du Coeur Pinot Noir

Detailed and refined with cherry and pomegranate flavors that are laced with loamy mineral, black tea and dark spices that build tension toward fine-grained tannins.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Résonance purchased this site close to Domaine Drouhin and Domaine Serene in 2014. After clearing the property of blackberry vines, they discovered a natural amphitheater on classic Jory soils (the Résonance vineyard, purchased in 2013, is planted on basalt). Vines were planted in 1996 and more Pinot Noir and Chardonnay have just been planted. Pale to medium ruby, the 2017 Pinot Noir Découverte Vineyard opens with inviting scents of raspberry jam, rhubarb and pomegranate with notes of warm earth and autumn leaves and a floral undercurrent. The palate is light to medium-bodied with youthfully shy fruits (this was bottled three to four months before I tasted it), with a soft frame and very juicy acidity, finishing restrained.

• Wine Enthusiast: The potential is here for the wine to develop further complexity, though currently it's still a bit jangly. Raspberries and blueberries share the flavor podium with peppery herbs and truffley fungus. The earthy, herbal flavors carry well into the finish, and further bottle age may help to soften some rough edges.

Producer Information

Résonance is Maison Louis Jadot's first wine project outside of Burgundy, France, since our founding in 1859. This Pinot Noir is our debut release from the beautiful, tree-lined Résonance Vineyard, in the Yamhill-Carlton wine region. From un-grafted vines first planted in 1981, this single vineyard bottling shows the elegance and complexity Oregon Pinot Noirs are famous for. Maison Louis Jadot, one of the most venerable, trusted and revered wine houses in the world, has been producing wines from the heartland of Pinot Noir, the French region of Burgundy with its first purchase of the Clos des Ursules vineyard in 1826. For its first venture outside of France, the Louis Jadot team became interested in the terroir and wines from Oregon. In 2013, the ideal location was found and a vineyard bought in the Willamette Valley, specifically the Yamhill-Carlton AVA region. The Résonance project is led by famed Jadot Winemaker, Jacques Lardière, who takes 42 years of experience in winemaking from the beautiful Pinot Noirs of Burgundy to the world’s most up and coming Pinot Noir regions.
