2024 Dijon Clone Chardonnay

Founder Jim Bernau traveled with the Oregon Governor's Delegation to Burgundy in the 1980s to seek out French clones to improve our state's Chardonnay quality. These vines were brought back and quarantined at Oregon State University before being propagated for use in Oregon vineyards. Naturally derived Dijon Clones from France being planted in the Willamette Valley was one of the greatest tipping points in Oregon wine quality.

On the Nose: Bright gold in color, the wine opens with delicate aromas of chamomile and mineral notes, layered with honeydew melon, vanilla and bergamot.

On the Palate: The dry palate offers flavors of fresh pastry, ripe banana and biscuit, supported by fresh acidity and a light, elegant body that carries through on the lingering finish.

Food Pairings: This wine pairs well with seafood, salads and creamy dishes, such as garlic scallops in cream sauce, arugula salad with Asian pear and goat cheese, lobster bisque or spring rolls.
