Résonance Wines: Proof of Place

Posted on Oct 29, 2025

Barrel tasting with winemaker Guillaume Large.

Each time we visit Guillaume Large at Résonance Wines in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, there’s a quiet certainty in the cellar. The barrels may hold the stories of different years, but the thread that ties them together is unmistakable: precision, patience, and an unwavering pursuit of expressing place.

Since Maison Louis Jadot established Résonance in 2013 as its first project outside Burgundy, the goal has never been to recreate Burgundy in Oregon, but to apply Burgundian sensibilities to the singular terroirs of the Willamette Valley. Under the meticulous hand of winemaker Guillaume Large, the wines have not only proven their consistency year after year but continue to show a deepening complexity and confidence with each vintage.

Winemaker Guillaume Large.

We’ve had several visits to Résonance Wines in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. We always make it a stop whenever we are in Oregon because the wines are just that good. Résonance is the Oregon outpost of the iconic Burgundian domaine of Louis Jadot. The winery is now run by Jadot’s former cellar master, Guillaume Large. On our most recent visit, Guillaume and his wife Lucie took us on a walk of this beautiful property and showed us something very unique and very special indeed.
