2017 Edmond Cornu Ladoix Vieilles Vignes (375ml)
SKU: B54
Regular price $24.95The Cornu family settled in the town of Ladoix in 1870 and established the domaine in 1875. Edmond Cornu assumed command of the estate in 1956 and in 1959 began to bottle the fruits of his labor. Up to that time all wines made at the estate had been sold to negociants. As the private clientele increased, Cornu also expanded the domaine. With the ascension of his son, Pierre, to full participation in the domaine, this dynamic family has aggressively pursued additional opportunities to acquire prime vineyard sites. Having expanded the domaine, Pierre is now joined by his cousin, Emmanuel Boireau, in supervising the vineyard and cellar work.
"Reduction still clouds the nose of this wine and even heavy swirling reveals only some smokiness. The palate comes in with juicy ease, swishing with red-cherry that is as ripe as it is fresh. Slightly drying tannins have something boisterous about them, in line with the lively fruit. The wine is slightly rustic but very fresh and charming, (WE, 91 points)".
