Lemon with an almond extract finish. Really nice — 5 years ago
A beautiful aroma of strawberries and cherries upon opening. Similar flavors with fine, silky tannins that made this a compelling experience. After a couple of hours, it began to shut down and was not as forthcoming. More cellar time required for this beauty. — 7 years ago
Fantastic!

The French Revolution detonated everything about the old order of France, and wine was no exception - far from it. The great vineyards of Burgundy, that had been tended to and ached over by Benedictine and Cistercian monks for centuries, were confiscated and auctioned off to the petite bourgeoisie in Paris and Dijon. The Napoleonic inheritance code, which guaranteed an even split between all children, led to these ancient plots being further divided up with each passing generation.
It wasn't long before there was a multitude of disinterested Parisians who owned a few vines in the Cote d'Or as their birthright. Négociant houses, such as Louis Jadot, popped up to make deals with these small landholders, aggregate their scattered plots, and bring their wine to the world.
Modern Burgundy is still very much a reflection of its transformation during the Revolution, with some of the world’s most famous and valuable land portioned out into tiny parcels. It’s no wonder demand outstripped supply long ago!

2017 | Chardonnay
Domaine Faiveley; Ladoix
Ladoix-Serrigny, Côte de Beaune, France
Very nice, restrained tropical fruits. Younger than we generally consume Ladoix Chardonnay (8Y+), but doing nicely after some time out in the decanter. I think the Jadot (Gagey) style works more for our palates. — 3 years ago
