2023 Resonance Chardonnay Willamette Valley 6pk 6x750ml

Resonance is Maison Louis Jadot's first winery outside Burgundy — a 2013 venture that brought three centuries of Burgundian winemaking to the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. The pedigree is real: Louis Jadot is one of the most respected names in white Burgundy, and this is their answer to Oregon.

The 2023 vintage marks the first year this bottling was made entirely from estate fruit — Resonance, Decouverte, and Home Ranch vineyards — after years of blending top Willamette sites. Sixteen months in 20% new French oak, Burgundian restraint applied to Oregon Chardonnay.

Decanter gave the 2023 vintage a 5/5 rating: “The wines that were made from the 2023 vintage in Oregon’s Willamette Valley are beautiful. There’s a grace and refinement stamped across them, from their aromatics to their polished finishes. And there’s a precocious nature to them, too: perfect for those without patience.”

In the glass: lush texture with steely acidity. Rich Asian pear, nectarine, lemon zest, with subtle jasmine and white peach on the nose. The kind of tension and precision you expect from whites twice the price. Wine Spectator called it "refined accents of apple, lemon verbena and stony mineral" and scored it 94 points.
