Ladoix Cote de Beaune 'La Rangie' Blanc 2017, Durand
A complex creamy Burgundy with a stone peach nose, classic Chardonnay lime and citrus fruits on the palate and a buttery spice finish.
28 year-old Xavier Durand took over the 12 hectare family domaine , from his father, Rene at the beginning of 2011. This energetic and highly talented young man has propelled this domaine in to the region?s premier league. Yields have been dramatically reduced and the emphasis is now on terroir with all lieux-dits now clearly stated on the labels. These are wines of great precision and freshness, with a wonderful purity. Xaviers reds from the Cote de Nuits surpass many Nuits St. Georges and are phenomenal value. The top-end Aloxe-Corton, les Boutieres is from 40 year-old vines, planted just about a frogs jump below the village?s Premier Cru vineyards. The Grand Cru Corton le Rognet is widely regarded as being one of the finest from this vineyard whilst the humble Ladoix, Cote de Beaune reveals the care and attention that Xavier puts in to all his wines.
