Dijon Clone

2008 Willamette Valley 100% Chardonnay

The Willamette Valley Vineyards Dijon Clone is an exquisite expression of Chardonnay that showcases the unique terroir of the Willamette Valley. This white wine presents a beautifully pale straw color, inviting you into its fragrant bouquet. On the nose, aromas of ripe stone fruits, such as peach and apricot, are elegantly intertwined with delicate notes of citrus and a hint of floral essence. The wine is well-balanced, featuring a medium body that enhances its creamy mouthfeel while remaining refreshingly crisp thanks to its vibrant acidity. Its fruit intensity is prominent, delivering a delightful harmony of flavors on the palate. This Chardonnay is vinified in a way that allows for subtle nuances of minerality to emerge, and though technically dry, it possesses an inviting richness that makes it incredibly food-friendly, ideal for pairing with seafood dishes or creamy poultry preparations.

Willamette Valley

The Willamette Valley is understandably most often associated with Pinot Noir. The cool-climate region has a unique relationship to this most delicate (and temperamental!) red wine grape. Lying on the same latitude as Burgundy in France, the Willamette Valley enjoys the perfect balance of sunshine and rain, proximity to the Pacific Ocean and protection on either side by the Coast Range and the Cascade Mountains. Along its 100 miles, the Willamette Valley boasts many distinct terroirs, so among its many brightly fruity, elegantly structured and blissfully fragrant Pinots, you'll also find exceptional Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling.
