Ladoix 1er Cru "Le Bois Roussot" (Red)

Origine

This plot, located in the "Le Bois Roussot" lieu-dit in the commune of Ladoix, faces east-south-east and has lovely stony, red clay-limestone soil. A road separates it from the "Les Carrières" lieu-dit on the border of Corton and Corton Charlemagne.

Vinification

Grapes are hand-picked and then conveyed to the winery in crates. Part of the harvest is stripped and poured into a vat, where it ferments for an 8- to 10-day period. The technique employed enables producing elegant and delicate wines. After pressing, fermentation is completed in vats before transport to the cellars for barrelling, where vinification will last 12-18 months. Two or three racking steps will be carried out in order to separate out the deposits forming at the barrel bottom during the various vinification phases. Prior to bottling, a last racking allows assembling the wine in preparation of the clarification step. Just one slight filtration is performed before bottling.

Notes de dégustation
