Le Clos Jordanne
|
|
Le Clos Jordanne was inspired by an original initiative by Inniskillin cofounders Donald Ziraldo and Karl Kaiser. In 1993, Inniskillin entered into a joint venture with Burgundian producer Jaffelin. Together they created limited edition VQA wines called "Alliance" made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes grown in Niagara. This reinforced Canada's ability to grow cool climate varieties in the Niagara region that are well known and respected in Burgundy, France. The collaboration combined the expertise of winemakers Bernard Repolt from Jaffelin and Karl Kaiser from Inniskillin. The distinction of these wines were based on barrel selection and vineyards that were producing the best fruit for these varietals. The wines were made until 1997 with Chardonnay being produced every year and the Pinot Noir only being made in the very best vintages (93, 95, 97).
