Ladoix blanc

Domaine Fanny Sabre
From her base in Beaune, Fanny Sabre crafts Burgundy with a light touch and plenty of personality. This Chardonnay comes from vines rooted in the limestone-rich soils at the northern tip of the Côte de Beaune, farmed organically and picked by hand. Gentle pressing, a slow ferment with native yeasts and ageing in older oak keep the fruit front and centre — think white peach, citrus zest and a hint of toasted hazelnut, wrapped around a bright, saline finish. It's fresh, textured and genuinely food-friendly: pour it with roast chicken, creamy risotto or a plate of good cheese. Drinking beautifully now.
