Résonance Vineyard Pinot Noir Yamhill-Carlton

A Pinot Noir that unites two worlds: the discipline of Burgundy and the cool freshness of the Willamette Valley. With Résonance, Maison Louis Jadot has proven that Oregon delivers not just promises, but genuine terroir.

Oregon, conceived from Burgundy. Louis Jadot—one of the leading names in the Côte d'Or since 1859—left its home region for the first time in 2013. The choice fell on Yamhill-Carlton, one of the driest and warmest sub-appellations of the Willamette Valley, characterized by ancient Jurassic sedimentary soils. Jacques Lardière, Jadot's long-time winemaker, was responsible for the first vintages: ungrafted, unirrigated vines that must work their way deep into the rock—this is not a choice, but a philosophy.

In the glass , the Résonance reveals what distinguishes Oregon Pinot Noir from Burgundy: greater fruit depth, less austerity. Aromas of fresh blackberry and sour cherry, underpinned by violets and a hint of roasted strawberry. The tannins are silky, the acidity lively without harshness. The finish offers herbal notes and a light touch of red tea—long, dry, and elegant.

Serving suggestion: Ideal with duck breast with Pinot Noir reduction, rack of lamb, or a mature Époisses. Serving temperature: 16–17 °C. Drinking window: now until 2030.
