Winemaker Notes

This wine with a bright garnet color reveals a delicate and complex nose of raspberry, wild strawberry and cherry flavors accented by black peppers and hints of cinnamon. The vintage and the vineyard site offers a sleek and pure expression of red fruits and minerality from the gold basalt in conjunction with a well-built and harmonious structure.

Pairs well with lightly seasoned red meats, chicken, turkey, lamb and root vegetables.

Professional Ratings

  • 93
    Still in the early going for Jadot's new Oregon project, this marks a step up from the previous vintage. Lushly fruity, it mixes floral aromatics with ripe red berries and cherries. A touch of cocoa powder mirrors the impact of 15 months in 30% new French oak. Barrel toast and cookie dough flavors accent the finish, which firms up with balancing acidity.
    Editors' Choice
  • 93
    Attractive violet-like florals and a range of ripe red to darker cherry aromas here. The palate has a fresh, concentrated and gently grainy feel with a super plush and deeply juicy build to the strong and focused finish.
  • 92
    Precise and tightly focused, but with a spirited core of minerality wrapped in densely layered cherry, slate and smoky green peppercorn flavors. Best from 2020 through 2025.

    The 2016 Pinot Noir Découverte Vineyard has a medium ruby-purple color and gives up tar, loamy earth and baked blackberries with red fruit sparks in the background—rhubarb, red currant—plus hints of mushroom, sweet spices and dried flowers. The palate is medium-bodied and silky with good concentration, a grainy frame and juicy freshness, finishing nuanced.


  • 91

    Glowing red plums and raked summer earth, with raspberry depths, a lovely sour cherry note, sweet liquorice and tobacco.

Résonance is Maison Louis Jadot's first wine project outside of Burgundy, France, since our founding in 1859. This Pinot Noir is our debut release from the beautiful, tree-lined Résonance Vineyard, in the Yamhill-Carlton wine region. From un-grafted vines first planted in 1981, this single vineyard bottling shows the elegance and complexity Oregon Pinot Noirs are famous for.

Maison Louis Jadot, one of the most venerable, trusted and revered wine houses in the world, has been producing wines from the heartland of Pinot Noir, the French region of Burgundy with its first purchase of the Clos des Ursules vineyard in 1826. For its first venture outside of France, the Louis Jadot team became interested in the terroir and wines from Oregon. In 2013, the ideal location was found and a vineyard bought in the Willamette Valley, specifically the Yamhill-Carlton AVA region. The Résonance project is led by famed Jadot Winemaker, Jacques Lardière, who takes 42 years of experience in winemaking from the beautiful Pinot Noirs of Burgundy to the world’s most up and coming Pinot Noir regions.

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

Home of the first Pinot noir vineyard of the Willamette Valley, planted by David Lett of Eyrie Vineyard in 1966, today the Dundee Hills AVA remains the most densely planted AVA in the valley (and state). To its north sits the Chehalem Valley and to its south, runs the Willamette River. Within the region’s 12,500 acres, about 1,700 are planted to vine on predominantly basalt-based, volcanic, Jory soil.
