Ladoix AOC 2021 Reine Pédauque

What kind of wine it is

Ladoix by Reine Pédauque is a red wine produced in France, in the Côte de Beaune area, made from Pinot Noir grapes. This wine has a precise profile, characterized by a measured structure and defined by fine tannins that intermingle with a distinct mineral touch. The winemaking process, with stainless steel fermentation and a prolonged cold maceration, sets a serious and elegant style, ideal for the dining table. The twelve-month ageing in oak barrels completes its well-defined character.

Where it comes from

This red wine comes from the village of Ladoix-Serrigny, situated northwest of the Côte de Beaune in the Burgundy region. The vineyards sprawl across hillsides overlooking the village and are characterized by soils composed of limestone mixed with clay. This soil composition is a crucial factor for the orderly expression of Pinot Noir, because it gives the sip a minerality that is perceptible on the finish and defines the authentic territorial identity of Ladoix.

How it is produced

The production process begins with a prolonged cold maceration of Pinot Noir grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel vats. During this phase, traditional operations such as pigeage and remontage are carefully performed, which are fundamental for an optimal management of extraction and must structure. The wine then ages for twelve months in oak barrels, a phase that favors the clear balance between the freshness of the fruit and the toasted nuances.

Tasting notes

It displays a clear garnet red color, enriched by light violet reflections. On the nose, scents of strawberry and candied fruits emerge clearly, blending with delicate notes of toast and coffee derived from barrel ageing. On the palate, the sip is precise and serious, leading the tasting towards a linear finish where a pleasant minerality stands out, together with a finish well supported by the tannins.

Food pairings

At the table, it pairs excellently with aged hams and dishes based on fibrous meats, such as rabbit and boiled meats. Its tannic structure allows it to accompany flavorful dishes like offal in sauce, game, or poultry seasoned with spices such as curry. To complete the meal, it matches very well with a selection of delicate-flavored cheeses, making it an excellent match for Brillat-Savarin, Vacherin, Brie de Meaux and Cîteaux.

When to serve it

This Ladoix wine is the perfect companion for occasions where a precise and reliable pairing is desired during meals. Its fine tannic texture, combined with fruit accents and toasted sensations, makes it an ideal choice for convivial occasions marked by tasty yet well-balanced recipes. It is particularly well suited to enhance lunches or dinners based on meat and soft cheeses, ensuring harmonious flavors from the first glass to the last.
