Le Clos Jordanne Jordan Village Chardonnay 2019

Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaThomas Bachelder is back consulting and making the wine at Le Clos Jordanne, a project that once has so much promise and now, with Bachelder’s return, may finally fulfil its destiny. The chardonnay comes off select parcels sustainably farmed on Le Clos Estate vineyard, the Claystone Estate vineyard (Twenty-Mile Bench), and Talon Ridge Estate vineyard (Vinemount Ridge). It is native fermented in stainless steel and finished in French barriques, (20 percent new), and aged 16-18 months. The attack is fresh and floral with hazelnut undertones, citrus butter, and spices, all with a creamy texture. So young and pointy, this will only improve as time goes on. A wonderful food style chardonnay.Tasted: 15 July 2021Tasted by: Prices:
