Domaine Le Clos Jordanne Le Grand Clos Chardonnay: Burgundian Craft from the Niagara Escarpment
Domaine Le Clos Jordanne Le Grand Clos Chardonnay 2020 is the flagship, single vineyard white from one of Niagara's most Burgundian minded producers. Grown on the Twenty Mile Bench within the Niagara Escarpment, it is full-bodied and rich, built in a serious, age-worthy style for people who already love great Chardonnay.
Tasting Experience: Full-Bodied and Rich
Ripe orchard fruit and lees-driven richness lead into nutty, custardy, toasted oak notes layered with warm baking spice. The texture is creamy and satiny, carried by fine, linear acidity and a long, concentrated finish. Wine critic David Lawrason of WineAlign scored the 2020 vintage 93 points after tasting it in July 2023.
Perfect Pairings: Culinary Harmony
- Roasted Lobster with Butter: The wine's creamy texture and oak spice mirror the richness of butter-poached shellfish.
- Roast Chicken with Brown Butter Sauce: Toasted, nutty notes in the wine echo the browned butter beautifully.
- Aged Gruyère: A nutty, firm cheese that stands up to the wine's body and oak without disappearing.
- Pan-Seared Scallops: The wine's acidity balances the scallops' sweetness, while its richness matches a buttery pan sauce.
Serving Tips: Give It a Real White Wine Glass
Serve chilled between 10 and 13°C, a touch warmer than a simple white, so the wine's richness and oak can show. A full-bodied white wine glass with a generous bowl helps concentrate its aromatics. This Chardonnay has the structure to improve with a few more years in the cellar, so it can also be held rather than opened right away.

Its pedigree and critic recognition make it a strong choice for anniversaries, thank you gifts to serious wine lovers, or any occasion that calls for a genuinely special Ontario white rather than an everyday bottle.
