Louis Jadot Ladoix Le Clou d'Orge Blanc 2023
Louis Jadot Ladoix Le Clou d'Orge is a refined village-level Chardonnay from the northern edge of the Côte de Beaune, crafted by Famille Gagey of Maison Louis Jadot. The vineyard lies just north-east of Aloxe-Corton at the foot of the famed Corton hill, where gentle slopes, altitudes between 220 and 360 metres, and east to south-east exposure create ideal conditions for producing elegant, mineral-driven white Burgundy. Why You'll Love It This is village-level white Burgundy with real finesse refined, mineral-driven, and beautifully crafted by prestigious Maison Louis Jadot. Famille Gagey has cultivated this vineyard since 2007, and the vines are now around twenty years old, producing fruit of increasing depth and character. The soils are composed of clay and marls with a shallow, stony profile that encourages naturally low yields and fine concentration. Hand-harvested grapes are fermented in oak barrels from CADUS cooperage (one-third new) and matured for approximately 15 months on fine lees, gaining exceptional texture and complexity.

Pessac-Léognan, Château Carbonnieux Blanc 2015
Legend has it that back in the 18th century, Château Carbonnieux’s white wine was so crystal-clear that it made its way to the Sultan of Constantinople’s palace under the guise of "mineral water from Carbonnieux". A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, the Sauvignon brings energy and brightness, while the Sémillon adds roundness and depth. When young, it’s fresh, crisp, and bursting with floral and citrus notes. As it ages, it takes on richer layers of dried and candied fruit, making it an incredibly versatile food wine. This elegant white is a perfect match for cooked or raw seafood, foie gras, white meats, or even spiced dishes.
