Résonance Willamette Valley Chardonnay 2022 Review
When one of the most famous wine giants in France comes to Oregon to make wine, you know to pay attention. In 2013, Thibault Gagey and Jacques Lardière set out to find the best sites in the Willamette Valley and came across a vineyard named Résonance tucked into the hills of the coast range near Carlton. The site inspired them to establish their first winemaking project outside of Burgundy. This Chardonnay is an excellent example of how the grape is thriving in the Willamette Valley. It offers a nose of minerals, ripe pear, and crisp apples. The palate is wonderfully balanced with good medium fruit to match the bracing acidity. The texture is on point and the finish is lovely and long.
