Le Clos Jordanne Jordan Village Chardonnay 2019

Niagara Peninsula, Ontario

$24.95 (20455)

A revitalized Le Clos Jordanne returned to the Niagara wine scene in 2017 with the release of its top-of-the-line, single vineyard Le Grand Clos chardonnay and pinot noir. Having successfully established its reserve tier, the brand is launching its rejuvenated Village label with the 2019 vintage, which blends barrels of wine made from chardonnay grapes grown in three vineyards in Jordan. This vibrant and youthful expression offers intense pear and candied lemon notes with some pineapple, cream and toasted notes that add richness and complexity. It’s appealing now, but I think another year or two in bottle will add more layers and interest if you can wait. Drink now to 2027. Available in Ontario at the above price and direct, leclosjordanne.com (92/100)
