With Résonance Vineyard, we realized Willamette Valley is to the New World what Burgundy is to the Old World. There is a feeling, a spirit, an energy – a ‘somewhereness’ that tells us this place can produce expressive single-vineyard Pinot Noir wines with an identity and personality.” – Pierre-Henry Gagey, President of Maison Louis Jadot
Résonance is Maison Louis Jadot’s first wine project outside of Burgundy, France since it was founded in 1859. Résonance, is in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, nestled beneath the coast range on a dramatic hilltop in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. From un-grafted vines first planted in 1981, our Pinot noir crafted from organically farmed vineyards highlights the elegance and complexity of our unique terroir. Winemaker Guillaume Large hails from Maison Louis Jadot; at Résonance, he balances techniques learned in Burgundy with the lush terroir of the Willamette Valley to produce unique expressions of Pinot noir and Chardonnay.
Guillaume Large was born in the heart of the Pouilly Fuissé appellation in 1982. Growing up his grandfather, who was a grower, shared with him his passion for vineyards and wine. Guillaume graduated with an Oenologist’s National Diploma from the Jules Guyot Institute of Dijon. In 2011, Guillaume joined Maison Louis Jadot and became the Assistant Technical Director. In August 2017, he moved to Oregon and joined Résonance as Winemaker, working under the advisement of Jacques Lardière.
