Résonance
It was a crisp spring day in April 2013 when Thibault Gagey and Jacques Lardière set out to survey a well-established vineyard named Résonance. Jacques had just retired after leading winemaking at Maison Louis Jadot for 42 years and Thibault whose family has operated Maison Louis Jadot since 1962 was ready to enter the business with a bold new project. They immediately felt a deep connection with the place and after tasting through dozens of wines made with the vineyard’s fruit Jacques sat back and said “Perfect.” Pierre-Henry Gagey the President of Maison Louis Jadot and Thibault’s father agreed. They decided to keep the vineyard’s title and they also named their new winery—Maison Louis Jadot’s first outside of Burgundy—in its honor. With the same meaning in English and French Résonance evokes many great things to come. They added the tiny but all-important accent mark to represent this small but special connection between Oregon and France.
Description
Nice intense and bright color. The nose is very fruity, with both red and black fruit, and has delicate spices — licorice and cinnamon — and floral notes. The palate reveals a balanced wine, with a excellent freshness enhanced by lacy minerality and the delicate flavors of cherries, blackberries, and raspberries.
Food Pairing
Pair with garlic and herb roasted pork tenderloin or oven-baked salmon fillets.
