Résonance Decouverte Vineyard Chardonnay, Oregon 2020

A mineral-driven single vineyard Chardonnay from Oregon

• This wine offers lemon peel, apples, jasmine and nectarine on the nose, leading to flavours of toasted hazelnuts, honeysuckle and apricot.
• Sixteen months ageing in French oak barrels adds roundness as well as flavours of toast and vanilla.
• Oregon is renowned for producing wines similar in style to those in Burgundy, at arguably better value.
• Jacques Lardière, who led the winemaking team at the acclaimed Maison Louis Jadot in Burgundy for 42 years, decided to undertake a new challenge and hence Résonance was established- the first venture outside of Burgundy for the estate.
• Découverte is the second vineyard that the estate acquired, and is located in the rolling hills of Dundee Hills, in the heart of the Willamette Valley.
