From the Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Escarpment wine region, Le Clos Jordanne, Le Grand Clos 2020 Pinot Noir is a dry, medium-bodied, elegant and silky PN fragrant with red berry jam, strawberry and spicy aromas; delicious and full of character on the palate with ripe red berry, cherry, loamy earth, anise, cinnamon, clove spice with beautifully balanced acidity. An absolute stunner Pinot Noir produced by Thomas Bachelder. Drink or hold.

Reviews and Ratings

Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Planted with Dijon clones from Burgundy, in one of Niagara’s premiere ‘Grand Cru’ quality vineyards, on the Jordan Bench, 2020 vintage marks the fourth since the revival of LCJ in 2019 with the 2017 vintage crafted by Thomas Bachelder. Consistently one of the top quality Pinots in Ontario, the 2020 shows expressive field berries, savoury cherry, dark chocolate, herbs, flint, and wood spice on the nose.
Medium bodied, the palate shows refreshing cherry, delicate spices, and great texture with impressive flinty minerality on the long finish. Le Grand Clos wines are well suited to enjoy youthful, and will evolve beautifully over a decade, perhaps longer. Tasted April 2023. 93 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
