Pierre Ravaut, Clos Royer Ladoix 2014

Jancis Robinson
"Mid cherry. The fruit is quite dark but still deliciously scented. Firm, savoury and spicy on the palate, quite unusual for 2014. A little chewy but you wouldn’t need to wait too long for this if you were drinking it with food. Very fine tannins. (JH)"

Vinous Reverie Notes
This wine is from an enclosed vineyard close to the center of the Ladoix village. Although not classified as a "Premier Cru" site, this wine has delightful nuances and complexity comparable to many Premier Cru Red Burgundies. Tasting Notes: Its initial aromas are apricots, cherries, old roses, and minerally saline notes from the decomposed limestone mixed with flint and clay. Flavors are of cherries, ripe peaches, mild cocoa, and a hint of cola. Overall, this is medium-bodied but with an interesting contrast of "lightness" across the palate along with a rich saturated mouthfeel.
