LADOIX


Municipal naming of Côte de Beaune, in Côte-d'Or. This naming contains 11 climates classified in Premier Cru. Municipality of production: Ladoix-Serrigny.
Naming LADOIX and LADOIX PREMIER CRU can be followed or not by the name of their climate of origin. Red: its dress often evokes the color of the garnet glittering in purplish reflections. The raspberries, the cherry, candied or in the brandy and the ripe fruit fill the bouquet. We meet also vegetable notes or spiced, coffee or cocoa there. In mouth? It’s drawing to tighten wife in flexibility a round and full shape, a spherical softness on a good structure and a just man what it is necessary of tannins. White: gold or straw clear, its aromas tilt for the locust tree decorated frequently with a buttered (drunk) accent. Classic bouquet around the plum, around the ripe apple, around the quince, around the fig, or still around a spicy pear. Lively and firm, knowing how to however master its moose, a wine among which the scale and the fat balance the spontaneous freshness. The softness comes in time.
