Resonance Decouverte Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017 750ml

A nice and brilliant color, with an expressive nose of cherry, blackberries, wild mint, fresh liquorice and noble wood. Vibrant and energetic, the palate reveals a subtle balance and elegant floral notes. The finish is mineral-driven, expressing the complexity of the Jory soil.

Pairs well with lightly seasoned red meats, chicken, turkey, lamb and root vegetables.

93 Points - Wine Spectator

Detailed and refined with cherry and pomegranate flavors that are laced with loamy mineral, black tea and dark spices that build tension toward fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2029.

The potential is here for the wine to develop further complexity, though currently it's still a bit jangly. Raspberries and blueberries share the flavor podium with peppery herbs and truffley fungus. The earthy, herbal flavors carry well into the finish, and further bottle age may help to soften some rough edges. Drink this wine after 2021.

Résonance purchased this site close to Domaine Drouhin and Domaine Serene in 2014. After clearing the property of blackberry vines, they discovered a natural amphitheater on classic Jory soils (the Résonance vineyard, purchased in 2013, is planted on basalt). Vines were planted in 1996 and more Pinot Noir and Chardonnay have just been planted. Pale to medium ruby, the 2017 Pinot Noir Découverte Vineyard opens with inviting scents of raspberry jam, rhubarb and pomegranate with notes of warm earth and autumn leaves and a floral undercurrent. The palate is light to medium-bodied with youthfully shy fruits (this was bottled three to four months before I tasted it), with a soft frame and very juicy acidity, finishing restrained.
