Ladoix Blanc

The Cornu family produces less than a handful of barrels of the rare white from Ladoix, from chardonnay—and a few stray vines of pinot blanc—just around the corner from Corton-Charlemagne. Like that grand cru, the wine is richly textured around a spice-inflected, mineral core. Barrel-fermented and raised in 20% new oak barrels, a mere 180 bottles make it to the States annually.
