2019 Gaston & Pierre Ravaut, Ladoix Rouge, 1er Cru Basses Mourottes

Domaine Gaston et Pierre Ravaut is a family estate based in the village of Ladoix-Serrigny, where multiple generations have farmed vineyards at the foot of the Corton hillside. Made from vines rooted in shallow clay-limestone soils on gentle slopes at the edge of the appellation, this Premier Cru benefits from an exceptional eastern exposure that maximizes morning sunlight. The wine delivers a balanced profile characterized by notes of ripe red berries, subtle earth, and fine French oak spice. Benefiting from the warm, even ripening conditions of the 2019 growing season, it exhibits a concentrated structure backed by vibrant acidity and supple tannins. This bottle is well worth securing for its combination of depth and regional typicity, offering an appealing window for drinking in the near term or holding for further development in the cellar.
