"There is no doubt Le Clos Jordanne will bring global attention to Niagara and to the super premium Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines it produces. The presence of Le Clos Jordanne wines in the international marketplace is also expected to enhance the reputation of Canada's VQA system of quality control."
Jay Wright explained that Le Clos Jordanne's 130 acres "enjoy similar soil and climate to the Côte d'Or. High-density planting provides the high concentration of the wines, whose every stage is carried out gently by hand, organically, and by gravity."
Jay Wright is the President and CEO of Vincor Canada, A Constellation Company.

"In 1998, I fell in love with this land. We sensed the potential; we could feel it, the terroir."

"Our investment in Canada is a first for a Burgundy wine producer. As we planted the vineyards, we consistently emphasized the importance of "terroir," paying special attention to soil type, slope, air drainage, directional facing and trellising. Most notably, we followed the traditional approach to plant spacing practised in Burgundy. By producing much lower yields per vine, we are able to achieve higher quality, more complexity and flavour, while still achieving ripening within Ontario's shorter growing season. The density of our vines is recognized as the tightest in the Niagara region."
