Ambroise Ladoix 1er Cru Les Grechons 2016

Maison Ambroise is a long established, small négociant house, who operates on 21 hectares of their own vineyards and purchase grapes from another 3. They own vines in Prémeaux, Nuits-St-Georges, Ladoix, Meursault, the hill of Corton, Vosne-Romanée (with some Grand Cru Echezeaux!), Gevrey-Chambertin, Vougeot, Beaune and as far as Saint-Romain. As always with similarly parcelled estates in Burgundy, logistic is key. Les Grechons, a vineyard with a privileged position at the end of the hill of Corton, is produced with fermentation in barrels (75% new). It is an perfectly balanced, unctuous and intense Chardonnay.
