Resonance Vineyard

Resonance Vineyard, situated in the heart of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, stands as a testament to the harmonious marriage of Burgundian winemaking heritage and the unique terroir of the region. The journey of Resonance began in April 2013 when Thibault Gagey and Jacques Lardière, a seasoned winemaking expert, explored the vineyards with the aim of crafting exceptional wines.

The Resonance project not only marked Maison Louis Jadot’s inaugural venture outside of Burgundy but also solidified its commitment to producing world-class wines that reflect the distinct character of the Willamette Valley. The vineyard itself, established in 1981, provides a canvas for winemakers to express the unique terroir reminiscent of Burgundy, with a similar longitude, small towns, gastronomic richness, and a warm community.

As the story unfolds, Resonance Vineyard becomes a focal point for the Gagey family, known for their deep-rooted connection with Maison Louis Jadot. Thibault Gagey, representing the next generation, took on the role of Director of Operations at Résonance in 2013, bringing a fresh perspective and dedication to continuing the family legacy.

The meticulous farming practices at Resonance Vineyard underscore a commitment to sustainable and site-specific viticulture. This dedication ensures that each grape reflects the unique characteristics of the terroir, contributing to the production of wines that capture the essence of the Willamette Valley.

In addition to Resonance Vineyard, the winemaking team extends its expertise to other notable vineyards, each contributing to the rich tapestry of Resonance wines. Jolis Monts Vineyard, Découverte Vineyard, and Koosah Vineyard further showcase the team’s dedication to exploring and harnessing the diverse terroirs within the Willamette Valley.

Jolis Monts Vineyard, with its own unique characteristics, adds depth and complexity to the Résonance portfolio. The team’s commitment to crafting site-expressive wines is evident in the exploration of Découverte Vineyard, where the distinct qualities of the terroir are carefully preserved and showcased in each bottle. Koosah Vineyard, with its specific microclimate and soil composition, contributes to the nuanced expression of the Willamette Valley’s diverse terroirs.

The wines produced at Resonance, sourced from these distinctive vineyards, embody the spirit of the Willamette Valley. Primarily focusing on the Pinot Noir grape, the winemakers craft wines that not only pay homage to Burgundian traditions but also celebrate the unique characteristics of Oregon’s terroir.

Resonance Vineyard and its affiliated vineyards serve as a beacon of collaborative winemaking, where the expertise of Maison Louis Jadot, the legacy of the Gagey family, and the rich terroir of the Willamette Valley converge to produce wines that resonate with enthusiasts worldwide. Each bottle tells a story of tradition, innovation, and a profound connection to the land—a true reflection of the artistry behind Résonance wines.
