2022 Dijon Clone Chardonnay

2022 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: Light gold in color, the wine is fruit-driven with notes of citrus, fresh pineapple and subtle white flowers rounding out the nose.

On the Palate: Lemon peel, yellow kiwi fruit, cantaloupe and light oak flavors emerge on the medium-bodied palate. Vibrant acidity leaves the wine refreshing and ideal for food pairing.

Food Pairings: This wine pairs well with roasted chicken tacos, sweet corn bread pudding, lobster bisque, scallops with white wine sauce and cheeses such as havarti and asiago.
