Le Clos Jordanne is back baby, yes it has been for a bit now; but it has a new home, a real brick and mortar building, with a cellar and everything.

Le Clos Jordanne 2019 Le Grand Clos Pinot Noir
<<< WRITTEN REVIEW >>>
What a pretty version of Pinot Noir this is - from the beautiful floral and cherry on the nose, to the follow-through in the mouth incorporating notes of strawberry plus black and red raspberry - there is a slight spiciness and the tannins start out "gritty”, but they manage to smooth out with some time in glass and create what might be the best Grand Clos of this iteration of the new Clos Jordanne.

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: ****+
