The 2011 vintage was difficult yet Le Clos Jordanne and this Pinot Noir from the Village Reserve vineyard tends to be a bit sour and tart. This wine cries out for food: feed it roast chicken or planked salmon.

Reviews and Ratings

Terry Jeans - Certified S rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This Burgundy-inspired pinot is ruby/garnet with beautiful ripe cherry aromas. A crisp acidity and flavours of dark, lush fruit this pinot noir ranks up there with some of the best in Ontario. A perfect food wine that I paired simply with burgers or equally good on its own. Delicious!
Dan Trcka Wine Blogger rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

The 2011 Jackson Triggs Le Clos Jordanne Village Reserve Pinot Noir was fermented using natural yeast; this is a first vintage from winemaker Sebastian Jacquey. The wine has lifted aromas of green underbrush, rosehip, pomegranate, old wood, faint clove and light spiciness. It is a light to medium bodied; extra-dry, fruity wine; with forward acidity, tight tannins and a medium finish. This wine is both food friendly and a sipper; it will benefit from further aging for the tannins and acidity to come together – drink 2017 – 2022. My impression: NICE, 89 pts.

The style of Burgundy with a Niagara signature in this Pinot Noir. The 2011 vintage offers deep minerality and mouth-watering acidity for food. This Niagara Pinot Noir is made Burgundian style. The 2011 was fermented using natural yeasts and is winemaker Sebastian Jacquey's first vintage. - Community Wine Reviews
