Domaine Faiveley
Ladoix “Les Marnes Blanches” Blanc
Purchased in 1995 and replanted to Chardonnay in 2013, this parcel’s marly limestone soils and northeast exposure bring precision and freshness to an outstanding village-level wine with Premier Cru–level complexity and ageing potential. From Ladoix-Serrigny, one of the Côte de Beaune’s oldest winemaking villages, with viticultural roots dating back to the 13th century, it reflects both heritage and refinement.
Plot: 3.02 ha. The holdings now stretches over 3 localities, including “Les Marnées” and “La Blancharde”.

Pale yellow with greenish glimmers. The nose reveals fresh, floral aromas and a touch of brioche. The palate is rich and powerful with toasty notes and a pleasant freshness. A lively and direct wine with excellent tension.

"With its charming lemon peel, white peach fruit and crisp, fresh acidity, the Ladoix Blanc from Faiveley is a classic, refreshing but not lacking in substance. The grapes are from 3ha that were replanted from Pinot Noir in the lieux-dits Les Marnes and Les Blanchards. It provides a very worthy entry point into Côte d'Or white Burgundy at an affordable price."
