2012 Ladoix Rouge Les Corvees

The 2012 Ladoix 1er Cru La Corvee seemed a little taciturn on the nose despite coaxing, reluctantly offering undergrowth aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with tart red cherries on the entry. There is a pleasant spiciness to this premier cru, quite peppery toward the finish that lingers nicely in the mouth. While it lacks a little excitement, it is a well-crafted Ladoix. Drink now-2019. I covered this Ladoix domaine earlier in the year, but when I met Julie Guyot-Chevalier early in the morning at the Grands Jours de Bourgogne tasting, I took the opportunity to taste two more wines.
