Gaston et Pierre Ravaut Ladoix 2017

Ladoix, at the northern end of the Cote de Beaune before we get into serious white wine territory to the south, is often overlooked but we think quite unfairly. The wines don't have the richness, density and exoticism of top burgundy of course, but they are charming, and ready to drink early. This 2017 is nicely developed with some floral notes alongside the red fruit, with a fine, fragrant palate and persistent finish.
