Chanterêves
Les Briquottes Ladoix Pinot Noir
Ladoix, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Overall left slightly disappointed by what is objectively a nice wine from Chantereves. Have enjoyed their other wines very much. But for the price this one just doesn’t quite get there for me. Decanted 3 hours and was better at the end than the beginning. On cork pop would have guessed a decent cru Beaujolais. With some air this reveals more earth and nuance. Acid slightly lacking and the finish is a bit short. Still a nice pairing with roast chicken, but won’t buy again for this price.
