Domaine Ravaut Ladoix, 75cl

The Domaine Gaston & Pierre Ravaut Ladoix Rouge 2023 is a stunning showcase of 100% Pinot Noir from the family-run estate in Ladoix-Serrigny. Celebrated for their meticulous, low-intervention organic farming, the Ravaut family delivers a wine of exceptional purity, vibrancy, and balance in the 2023 vintage. By utilising restrained extraction and a careful reduction of new oak, this vintage allows the true voice of the limestone-rich terroir to take center stage.

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: Brilliant, translucent ruby red.
• Aroma: An inviting bouquet of bright red cherries, wild raspberries, and fresh strawberries, underscored by delicate notes of violets, damp earth, and a whisper of sweet spice.
• Palate: Silky and light-to-medium-bodied. The crunchy red fruit flavors are framed by fine, supple tannins and a vibrant, refreshing acidity.
• Finish: Clean, mineral-driven, and elegantly persistent with a lingering kiss of red berry fruit.

Serve slightly chilled at 15–16°C (59–61°F). This versatile Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with classic roasted duck breast, seared salmon, wild mushroom risotto, coq au vin, or mild, earthy cheeses like Brie and Comté. It is drinking beautifully now but possesses the structure to cellar gracefully over the next 5 to 7 years.
