Saturday, September 28, 2019 - Visiting London, Galway, Dublin and Paris; 9/14/2019-9/29/2019 (England, Ireland and France): Faiveley's 2016 Ladoix Blanc was barrel-fermented and aged for 12 months in French oak. The Domaine describes the new oak exposure as "less than one-third" of the barrels. Light golden in color, it is effusive of green apple, lime zest, white flower and spicy oak aromas. Light-bodied, crisply acidic and with nicely integrated alcohol (listed as 13%), it delivers flavors mirroring the nose and stays solid on the mid-palate. The finish falls a bit short, but overall this is a pleasant Chardonnay that should be at its best over the next three years. Drink now-2022.
