Le Grand Clos
"Our mission is to hone in on the ‘filet mignon’ of the Clos Jordanne vineyard. Simply our finest expression of the Jordan bench Terroir."

— Thomas Bachelder

Exclusively devoted to growing ultra-premium Canadian VQA wines made from Burgundy’s classic grape varieties, the wines of Le Clos Jordanne debuted in Canada and the international marketplace in 2007 and introduced the wine industry to an entirely new level of quality and expectation from Canada.

Produced under the direction of winemaker Thomas Bachelder – crafted with sustainable winemaking practices, and focus on delivering the best and most authentic expression of Burgundian style wines, through the lens of Niagara terroir.

Vineyards:

The grapes for this wine are sourced predominantly from organic vineyards in the Willamette Valley, essentially from the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. The soils here are a combination of sedimentary sandstone and volcanic soils which have their own sea-salty minerality that makes for very interesting comparisons with limestone soils such as Niagara and Burgundy. 

Tasting Notes:

Highlighting raspberry liqueur, wild strawberries, pomegranate seeds, fresh plum, and cloves. Imagine tasting the first spoonful of just-made, warm, red raspberry jam.’ The polish and elegance on the palate allow the wine to wear its considerable weight quite lightly, and to finish with a taut and chalky, glycerine-laden finesse, so fine and long. 

Food Suggestion: A perfect wine for the autumn and winter months. Serve with roast game in fruity sauces and venison casseroles.

Closure: Natural Cork  ABV:13%  Acidity [g/l]: 5.8
