Résonance · Louis Jadot Estates · Willamette Valley · 2024
Oregon Chardonnay with a Burgundian soul. Résonance is the Oregon estate of Maison Louis Jadot, established in the Willamette Valley to explore the parallels between Oregon and Burgundy.
Producer & Terroir
The 2024 Willamette Valley Chardonnay draws on vineyards including Koosah, Découverte, Witness Tree, and other Willamette Valley sites. Jacques Lardière and Guillaume Large bring the Jadot winemaking tradition to an Oregon expression built around freshness, texture, and mineral detail.
Tasting Notes
Apple, pear, baked lemon, and lime zest meet delicate floral notes and stony minerality. The supplied reviews describe a supple, silken texture with gentle creaminess, balanced by fresh acidity and a lingering citrus-and-orchard-fruit finish.
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2024
James Suckling, 93 Points | A balanced and nuanced wine with aromas of apples, baking spices and baked lemons. Nicely textured and light- to medium-bodied, with lemon oil acidity and gentle creaminess in the middle. A very fresh and clean finish with lingering flavors of spiced pears and citrus.
Vinous, 93 Points | The 2024 Chardonnay Willamette Valley entices with a highly expressive blend of crushed green apple, lime zest and wet stone aromas. It balances a pretty inner sweetness with fresh acidity and silken textures as ripe orchard fruit swirls across the palate. The 2024 displays excellent balance as it tapers off long and perfumed, leaving a subtle hint of apricot.
Jeb Dunnuck, 92 Points | Producing roughly 20,000 cases annually, the 2024 Chardonnay Willamette Valley pours a bright silver/yellow color and offers elegant aromas of pear, poached apple, fresh flowers, lemon sorbet, and delicate creaminess, along with hints of vanilla and meringue. Medium to full-bodied, it has a supple texture, lovely approachability, subtle almond cream, youthful effervescence, bright stony minerality, and a touch of bitter citrus pith on the finish.
Food Pairings
Try with pan-seared scallops, Dungeness crab, roasted halibut, wild mushroom tart, roasted squash with sage, or aged Gruyère. Serve chilled and allow a little time in the glass for the wine’s texture and aromatics to open.
