White Gold From The Foot Of Grand Cru Corton

April 21, 2023

The village of Ladoix sits immediately below the Grand Cru vineyards of Corton and Corton-Charlemagne, arguably the most exclusive of all white Burgundies.

A minute or two walk down the steep slopes of Corton and you seamlessly enter the encapsulating village of Ladoix, where limestone and clay soil produce some of the most elegant and refined white Burgundies.

Ladoix Chardonnays are the darlings of the wine world as they offer tremendous value.  With Cortons ranging in price from $200 to north of $2,000 per bottle, the value of this Grand Cru neighbor is simply priceless!

Yields Will Be Down Drastically Next Year For Burgundy

Stock up now.  The supply of white Burgundies is about to get tight - very tight!  2021 experienced significant hail -- disastrous is the adjective often used by growers.  Yields are historically low with many producers bottling only 20% of their typical harvest!

There is still time to snatch up some white gold in the 2020 Chevalier Ladoix Blanc. White Burgundy fans are stocking up - and stocking up quickly.

Gorgeous!  Apple, citrus, melon rind, pear, and hints of lemon are just a few of the beautiful notes on the entry. With mineral-driven undertones, this elegant Chardonnay shows texture and length while staying impeccably balanced. Beautiful persistence on entry, the flavors and structure effortlessly dance on the long, lasting finish.

A stellar wine from a stellar vintage - do not miss it!

Like most well-made whites that we feature, we recommend serving this Chardonnay on the warmer side of cold to enhance the wine's impeccable fruit and acidity.

Enjoy now and over the next 10 years.
