Ladoix AOC
Ladoix AOC produces red Pinot Noir and white Chardonnay where the Côte de Nuits turns into the Côte de Beaune around the Corton hill.
Overview
Vineyards at Ladoix-Serrigny spread across lower slopes and the northeastern flank of the Corton hill. Limestone, marl, and clay support fresh, structured reds and lively, mineral whites, with exposure and elevation creating marked differences across village and Premier Cru sites.
Geography & Climate
The appellation occupies east- and southeast-facing slopes and piedmont around Ladoix-Serrigny at the northern entrance to the Côte de Beaune.
Soils
Jurassic limestone and marl mix with clay, scree, and deeper alluvial material toward the foot of the slope.
Wine Styles
Red Pinot Noir and white Chardonnay are produced, ranging from supple village wines to more concentrated Premier Cru expressions.
