Tasting notes
The 2020 Ladoix Le Clou d'Orge (Domaine Gagey) is a ripe, fleshy rendition of a cuvée that's generally quite chiseled. Bursting with aromas of orange oil and honeyed peaches, it's medium to full-bodied, broad and textural, though it retains lively balancing acidity. To me, it's missing a little cut this year.
