A SPARKLING NEW TRADITION


I 18


n an era of increasing consolidation, partnerships between independent wineries are the exception rather than the rule. In a celebration of both family ownership and dedication to quality, Jordan Vineyard & Winery has partnered with the French Champagne house AR Lenoble to create the first Jordan Cuvée Champagne.


This may come as a surprise to many of the winery’s long-time fans, as well as those who inadvertently confuse J Vineyards & Winery with Jordan Vineyard & Winery. The family ties between the two wineries ran deep for decades.


Jordan Winery’s sparkling wine history dates back to 1986 when, during a Christmas vacation in Hawaii, winery founder Tom Jordan and his daughter, Judy, formed a partnership and created “J by Jordan” sparkling wine and the Jordan Sparkling Wine Company.


Winemaker Rob Davis traveled to Champagne with


André Tchelistcheff in 1987 to learn the many differences in production between still and sparkling wine. Upon his return, he enlisted the skills of Claude Thibaut, who was raised in a Champagne winemaking family, to craft “J by Jordan” sparkling. Committed to authenticity, they brought the first French Coquard press, a model favored by the top traditionalist winemakers in Champagne, to California and installed it alongside the stainless steel tanks at Jordan. They sought out Russian River Valley Chardonnay vineyards near the river planted to the gravelly, alluvial soils for fruit that was similar to that of Champagne.


When the first vintage of “J by Jordan,” the 1987, was released, Jordan sparkling joined the winery’s Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon as part of the Jordan portfolio. J sparkling was poured for guests at Jordan Winery dinners, sold by our sales director to fine restaurants and available for winery visitors to purchase. And, until 1993, J sparkling was produced alongside our still wines at Jordan Winery in Alexander Valley.


To our customers, the two brands—J and Jordan— seemed inseparable. But “J by Jordan” sparkling rapidly grew, and Judy saw an opportunity to make the brand her own. After moving winemaking to a permanent facility in Russian River Valley in 1993, she took full ownership of J and spent the next two decades building it into a successful producer of not only sparkling but also Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
