Louis Jadot - Domaine Gagey Ladoix Le Clou d'Orge | French White Wine

Jadot Ladoix Le Clou d'Orgeat (Orgeat means wheat in French) is one of 11 climats classifed as a 1er Cru however, in this case this is not mentioned on the label. This 100% Chardonnay is aged for 14 months in oak and is a very well-made wine, the oak is not too dominating and there are plenty of good white Burgundy characteristics that you would expect from much more expensive wines. As mentioned above, Ladoix is located in the Cote de Beaune to the east of the village of Aloxe Corton adjacent to the famous Corton hill. Le Clou d’Orge vineyard is located at between 220 and 360m above sea level and has good east / south-east exposure with clay and marl soils. This gently sloping vineyard is about 20 years old and has been under the control of Louis Jadot since 2007. 100% Chardonnay aged for 14 months in French oak barrels.
