In the northwest of the Côte de Beaune, the vineyard overlooks the picturesque village of Ladoix-Serrigny (Ladoix is old French for “the source”). Located on the heights of the Corton hill, the climat (vineyard site) "Les Hautes Mourottes" is on the edge of the Grands Crus of Corton and Corton-Charlemagne.
The Ladoix AOC produces 3/4 red and 1/4 white wine. There are 11 premier Cru’s, with a production is 33,000 cases of red to 12,500 cases of Blanc.
Light golden yellow in color. The wine shows a beautiful expression of terroir with a minerality that characterizes the hillside of Ladoix, with its notes of chalk and warm stone. Its fine, oaky, vanilla notes bring richness on the finish.
Its freshness and finesse allow it to be enjoyed as an aperitif. It also pairs well with white meat and sauce. At the sea side, it will be perfect with a plate of shellfish (lobster, scallops) steamed or poached or noble fish just fried, grilled or steamed. Cheeses: Goat cheese, Beaufort Comté, Emmental.
"Fresh notes of chalk and lemon beckon from the glass, clothed in subtle smoke. The gentleness continues on the palate where Mirabelle fruit has an inviting streak of lemon. The ripeness of 2018 is expressed in the warm finish, but overall this is a very balanced, fresh wine. - Anne KREBIEHL MW"
