Le Clos Jordanne 2019 Jordan Village Chardonnay (Ontario Wine Review #446)

A new line of wines from Le Clos, this time it's not vineyard specific

Le Clos Jordanne 2019 Chardonnay, Jordan Village

A new wine for the Clos but this one is not a single vineyard offering, instead it's a three-vineyard blend taken from the Estate vineyard plus Talon and Claystone vineyards. This 2019 Chardonnay has beautiful acidity that helps to balance this intensely fruit-forward wine that has notes of saline plus peach, apple cobbler, hints of pineapple all culminating with a buttery-spicy feel to the finish. The fruit comes across sweet across the mid-palate, but that acidity helps to keep everything in check and manages to balance it out ... Bottom line here: nice complexity with a long finish. Price: $24.95 – Rating: ****+
