Description
Faiveley bought this parcel of Ladoix, originally planted with Pinot Noir, in 1995. Grapes ripen slowly on this slightly stony soil of marl and limestone, due to its north-north-east exposure and combe location. This characteristic quickly proved ideal for white wines. After conducting conclusive trials on 0.4 ha in 2007, Erwan decided to replant this plot with Chardonnay vines in 2013. It now stretches over 3 localities, including ‘Les Marnées’ and ‘La Blancharde’. To date, this is the largest planting undertaken on Faiveley's estate.
Taste
Powerful on the palate, the wine reveals toasted bread flavours balanced by a pleasant freshness. Great energy stems from its liveliness and firmness.
