Overview
The 2023 Ladoix le Bois Roussot Capitain-Gagnerot is crafted from 100% Pinot Noir vines planted on limestone-rich soils. This single-vineyard bottling expresses the pure terroir of Ladoix le Bois Roussot, delivering a wine of finesse, depth, and balanced power.
Tasting Notes
Aroma
A fragrant bouquet of ripe cherry, wild strawberry, and red currant is followed by hints of violet, forest floor, and crushed stone.
Palate
On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with silky tannins and bright acidity. Flavors of red fruit compote, subtle baking spice, and a touch of savory herb lead to a precise, mineral-tinged finish.
Winemaking
Harvested by hand at optimal ripeness, the grapes undergo a gentle whole-berry fermentation in stainless steel cuves. Aging in French oak barrels (20% new) for 12 months adds complexity without overshadowing the grape’s natural elegance.
Food Pairing & Service
- Pair with roasted chicken, game birds, or mushroom risotto.
- Charcuterie and soft-ripened cheeses also complement its bright fruit and minerality.
- Serve at 15–17°C (59–63°F) to fully appreciate its aromatic profile and balanced structure.
Cellaring Potential
This wine can be enjoyed upon release or cellared for up to 10 years to develop further complexity and nuance.
