🏰 From the pioneering natural wine estate of Prieuré Roch, the 2017 Ladoix Le Cloud Blanc is a pure expression of Chardonnay, showcasing a delicate yet lively profile with creamy orchard fruits, subtle spices, and a vibrant minerality, reflecting the unique terroir of Ladoix. Prieuré Roch, known for its organic and biodynamic practices and minimal intervention winemaking, allows the fruit and terroir to speak for themselves. This white Burgundy, produced from a plot at the foot of the Corton hill, offers a nose of ripe yellow apple skin, pear, and mineral notes, with hints of reduction and nuts. The palate is concentrated and intense, round and luscious, with medium acidity, honey, and sweet herbal undertones, leading to a nice textured finish. 🍴 This versatile white Burgundy pairs beautifully with a range of dishes. Consider it with roasted chicken or turkey, rich fish like salmon or tuna, and various shellfish. It's also an excellent choice for mild and soft cheeses, pasta dishes, or as an aperitif with casual summer cuisine such as seafood salads or grilled shrimp. 🥂 An easy-drinking wine that is confident to age well, the 2017 Ladoix Le Cloud Blanc is perfect for those who appreciate natural white Burgundy. It's suitable for a thoughtful dinner, a special occasion, or a relaxed summer gathering. While enjoyable now, it has the potential to evolve further in the cellar. Serve chilled, but not overly cold, to allow its nuanced aromas to emerge.
