When Maison Louis Jadot looked for its first project outside Brgundy, Oregon's Willamette Valley and its distinctive terroir stood out. The French house staked its claim in Oregon's Yamhill-Carlton AVA, building a brand around Résonance Vineyard, which was originally planted in 1981. The winemaking team consists of Guillaume Large and Jacques Lardière, who was Jadot's chief winemaker for 42 years until he "retired" in 2012. Thibault Gagey is director of operations.
