Jaffelin Ladoix Chardonnay Single Bottle

Country: France  Region: Burgundy 

Vintage: 2021 Grape : Chardonnay

Producer : Jaffelin

Description: 

If you are coming from Dijon, it is at Ladoix that the Côte de Beaune begins. Ladoix shares with Aloxe-Corton and Pernand-Vergelesses the honour of producing the famous wines of the hill of Corton. The appellation was instituted in 1937. The vineyards grow red or white wines according to whether the soils best suits the Pinot Noir or the Chardonnay grape.

The soils of the upper slopes are pebbly and reddish (iron-rich olite) with a high limestone content and quite marly. These suit great white wines. Mid-slope, reddish-brown calcareous soils with abundant limestone debris grow full-bodied and flamboyant red wines. Clayey soils at the foot of the slopes take away some of their fire. Exposures: easterly or South-East to South. Altitude: 230 to 325 metres.

Tasting Note: Beautiful and evolving. Nose full of stoney honeysuckle and some notes of tropical fruits. A rich palate but also with a striking lemony acidity that holds the balance. Long, weighty, fresh and salty finish.

Great with Fish, white meats, goat cheeses.
