Description
In a nutshell:
An elegantly balanced white Burgundy which shimmers with fleshy stone fruit and a subtle touch of spice - a lovely expression of its unique terroir.
The lowdown:
Ladoix sits at the meeting point of the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits and is better known for its reds than its whites - but dont let that put you off, this is well worth the trouble. Jadot's Le Clou d'Orge vineyard, tucked at the foot of the famous Corton hill, is in good Chardonnay territory, where the fruit reliably reaches full ripeness. Fermented and aged for around 15 months in oak, this strikes a lovely balance between freshness and richness. Bright apple and a squeeze of lemon lead into juicy citrus, peachy notes, and a touch of toasty spice. Underneath, there's crisp minerality and a creamy texture. A very decent village wine with depth, character, and a bit of Burgundian polish.
The Producer:
Maison Louis Jadot is one of the classic Burgundy names, founded back in 1859 in Beaune - you can't miss their eye-catching winery. Their fruit comes from their many vineyards dotted around the Côte d'Or, Mâconnais and Beaujolais which is supplemented by some bought in. André Gagey and winemaker Jacques Lardière were the dream team behind their success. Jadot wines reliably deliver but check out their Côte de Beaune reds and whites - those are special. Frédéric Barnier took over from Lardière in 2013 and hasn't missed a beat.
When to drink:
A sophisticated Burgundy like this is ripe for creamy seafood dishes, for example baked cod in a luscious sauce, or a posh prawn cocktail.
