A straightforward, finely tuned Burgundy – fresh and accessible, yet with the structure and depth one expects from a Vosne-Romanée producer.
Pairing

Notes
Behind this estate lies traditional Burgundian expertise passed down through five and six generations; the family cultivates vineyard sites in Vosne-Romanée all the way up to the Grand Cru Grands Échézeaux – this experience with great terroirs is reflected in the finely structured, site-typical style of this Ladoix.
Tasting note
Character
A composed, neatly structured Pinot Noir from northern Burgundy: dark cherry and raspberry, accompanied by a hint of undergrowth and clove. Medium-bodied, with fine-grained tannins and a lively acidity that keeps the wine taut. No show-off, but rather a wine of calm and definition – dry, straightforward, with cool elegance on the finish.
Terroir & Origin
Ladoix lies at the northern edge of the Côte de Beaune, right at the foot of the famous Corton hill – an appellation that often stands in the shadow of its mighty neighbour and precisely for that reason still produces honest, terroir-driven red wines. For AS Sirugue-Noëllat, it represents a step southwards from their home base in Vosne-Romanée, where Sophie Noëllat and Arnaud Sirugue have been cultivating twelve hectares since taking over the family estate in 2023 – all the way up to the Grand Cru Grands Échézeaux.
Grape Variety & Vinification
Pure Pinot Noir, Burgundy’s great red grape, which here favours finesse over power. The estate works according to the credo Sophie Noëllat herself formulated: “Precision and finesse”. In warm years such as 2023, the two increasingly resort to whole-bunch fermentation, which preserves freshness and refines the tannins; ageing follows the classic route of twelve to fifteen months in cask, with restrained use of wood. The result: a wine that tastes of its place rather than of cellar technique.
Food Pairings
The fine structure and fresh fruit pair well with duck breast with cherries, coq au vin or a simple beef stew. Mushroom dishes – such as chanterelles on toasted bread – and a medium-aged Époisses or Comté also make excellent company. Do not serve too warm: at 15 to 16 degrees, this Ladoix shows why Burgundy convinces even away from the big names.
