Nose
On the nose, the Ladoix Blanc ‘Bois de Mont’ 2022 is an aromatic symphony. Initially, delicate floral notes of acacia and honeysuckle emerge, intertwined with fresh citrus aromas of lemon zest and green apple. As it opens up, subtle hints of white peach, pear, and a touch of wet stone minerality make their presence known. A whisper of vanilla and almond suggests a judicious use of oak, adding complexity without overpowering the primary fruit aromas.
Palate
The first sip reveals a medium-bodied wine with a striking balance of freshness and richness. The acidity is lively yet perfectly integrated, giving the wine a vibrant backbone. Flavors of ripe citrus, crisp green apple, and pear dominate the palate, complemented by nuances of melon and a hint of pineapple. The mid-palate introduces a creamy texture, likely from lees stirring, which adds depth and a slight buttery note without being heavy.
Finish
The finish is long and satisfying, with a persistent minerality that leaves a clean, refreshing aftertaste. The interplay of fruit, acidity, and subtle oak influence creates a harmonious and lingering impression, inviting you to take another sip.
Food Pairing
This Ladoix Blanc is versatile at the table. It pairs beautifully with seafood dishes like grilled scallops, buttery lobster, or a delicate sole meunière. It’s also a delightful companion to poultry dishes with creamy sauces, such as chicken in a mushroom cream sauce, or with a selection of fine cheeses, particularly a mild goat cheese or a soft, ripe Brie.
