Description:
Louis Jadot is one of the Premier Negociant names in all of Burgundy. Established in 1859 by Louis Henry Denis Jadot, the house as went on to create wines from many of the most prized vineyards in all of Burgundy.
For the last twenty years, Maison Louis Jadot has banned the use of any synthetic product on its vineyards (herbicides, pesticides, etc), favouring traditional viticultural techniques. They strive to maintain environmental balance in all their vineyards, and 15ha of Jadot’s property in the Côte d’Or is farmed biodynamically.
Louis Jadot’s Ladoix “Le Clou d’Orge” Blanc is more than a wine — it is a reflection of its place. The vineyard’s east-facing slopes catch the morning light, giving fruit that is vibrant and pure, while the age-old soils lend structure and minerality. After gentle fermentation and patient aging in oak, the wine emerges with a character that is both refined and assured.
This is a Chardonnay for moments of reflection and celebration alike, whether shared over seafood on a summer’s evening or savoured with roast chicken by the fire. In Ireland, where Burgundy whites are cherished for their finesse, “Le Clou d’Orge” offers an invitation into a Premier Cru experience that is at once authentic and unforgettable.
Tasting Notes:
This Ladoix white is aged in French oak barrels during 14 months. Ripe and rich with lots of fleshy fruits, these flavours are balanced by delicate, smoky savoury oak and a clean minerally acidity. Superb craftmanship.
