Domaine Gaston & Pierre Ravaut Ladoix «Les Carrières» 2022 – Ladoix

The wine has a bright pale ruby color. The nose offers tension, tanginess of fruit (red cherry, dried cranberries, dried raspberry, tangy strawberry), as well as distinct herbal notes (dried mint, dried blackcurrant leaf, fresh mint in the background), touches of licorice and grated nutmeg, as well as fresh rose and pine bark in the background. The palate is juicy and enveloping, while remaining fresh and refined. The attack expresses the flavors of ripe tangy fruits (red cherry, raspberry, tangy strawberry, cranberries, a hint of blackcurrant in the background), complemented by notes of liquorice, nutmeg, fresh wild mint and dried bouquet garni in the background, completed by a powdery touch of cocoa and a hint of chalky minerality on the persistence. The acidity is fresh and salivating, Tannins are melted and polished. A pleasant, approachable wine with a certain concentration and elegance. Good length with gourmand notes of morello cherry and blackberry.
