Winemaker Notes

The 2021 Résonance Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is a beautifully expressive wine that blends French winemaking expertise with Oregon terroir. Sourced from estate vineyards and select sites across the valley, it shows vibrant aromas of wild strawberry, mulberry, and violets, alongside earthy and floral undertones. On the palate, ripe black cherry and cranberry flavors mingle with hints of vanilla, licorice, and cedar, framed by polished tannins and lively acidity. A touch of mineral character carries through to the long, elegant finish. Aged 15 months in 30% new French oak, it balances richness with finesse, making it a versatile Pinot Noir that pairs well with dishes like roast duck, mushroom risotto, or herb-crusted salmon.

About Winery 

Résonance Winery was founded in 2013 when Maison Louis Jadot, the historic Burgundy producer, made its first venture outside of France. The project began when Jacques Lardière, Jadot’s legendary winemaker for 42 years, and Thibault Gagey, son of Jadot’s president Pierre-Henry Gagey, discovered the Résonance Vineyard in Oregon’s Yamhill-Carlton AVA. They were immediately struck by the site’s potential, with its marine sedimentary soils and cool-climate conditions ideal for Pinot Noir. Deciding to keep the vineyard’s original name, they established Résonance as Jadot’s Oregon estate, blending Burgundian tradition with Oregon terroir. Today, Résonance produces acclaimed Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, crafted with minimal intervention to highlight purity, elegance, and a sense of place, while symbolizing the “resonance” between Burgundy and Oregon.
