Resonance Louis Jadot Estates Chardonnay Hyland Vineyard McMinnville 2017 750ml

This impressive Chardonnay from McMinnville behaves more like a young White Burgundy than anything from the new world. Aromas of golden apple, pear and quince emerge from the glass with a seasoning of nutmeg and toasted brioche. Clean and very crisp in the mouth with a Chablis-like minerality, balanced by invigorating acidity and energetic tension. There is a well-crafted Chardonnay with plenty of youthful charm and layered complexity.

Vinous 92 Points | Pale gold. Mineral- and smoke-tinged pear and white peach aromas pick up floral and lemon pith nuances with air. Juicy and focused on the palate, showing very good tension and cut to the Anjou pear, peach pit and Meyer lemon flavors. A subtle iodine note appears on the impressively long, tight finish, which leaves a bitter pear skin note behind. 20% new French oak.
