The 2016 Ladoix 1er Cru Les Gréchons Blanc has another crisp, oyster shell-scented bouquet with really quite outstanding mineralité, almost Chablis-like. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine seam of acidity, very focused, almost Zen-like in style with a brisk marine-tinged finish. This is equal to the 2015 last year and might surpass it.

The 2015 Ladoix 1er Cru Les Gréchons Blanc comes from marn soils at the top of the slope. It has a pretty nectarine and apricot blossom-scented bouquet that is well defined. The palate has a touch of ginger on the entry. There is admirable weight and precision with a keen thread of acidity throughout. I like the personality here, the drive and intent. It comes highly recommended. Chapeau, Michel.

The 2013 Ladoix 1er Cru Les Gréchons Blanc has an attractive apple blossom and quince-scented bouquet that opens nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine line of acidity: hints of orange peel, fresh pear and lime with good weight and concentration on the finish. This is one of my picks from the domaine in 2013.
