2016 Edmond Cornu & Fils Ladoix Les Carrieres, Burgundy, FranceABOUT THIS WINE The Les Carrieres cuve is the yin to the yang of its neighbor, the Bois Roussot. It usually carries a touch less depth to its color, is a bit more high toned, always intensely aromatic, with a spice driven fruit; all in all, a wine that always makes us hungry; its grace can be deceptive as there is plenty of backbone. The vineyard sits next to the Grand Cru Corton parcel of Le Rognet et Corton and just adjacent to the 1er Cru Bois

Since 1980

and it’s located in the Côtes de Bar

it demonstrates immediate appeal with red berry fruit and a balance of roundness

Their vines are well placed
