Burghound, May 2011, Score: 91-94
A somber, serious and highly complex nose features an abundance of floral influences, in particular violets, along with plenty of earth and animale character on the red currant and plum aromas. There is excellent size and weight to the rich, full-bodied and quite powerful flavors that are supported by noticeably firmer tannins and this will require the better part of two decades to be at its best. An impressive effort. Drink: 2012+.Comments: sweet spot!

The town of Ladoix-Serrigny is the first wine producing village you reach whilst travelling south from the Côte de Nuits to the Côte de Beaune. Beneath the hill of Corton, within the town, your eyes will be drawn to the Château de Serrigny, family home of the Prince Florent de Merode. The family have owned this property since the early 18th century and rarely, for vineyards, managed to avoid being broken up, which was so common during the revolution. The current Prince has lived there since 1954 and had Pierre Bitouzet oversee production for many years, before changing emphasis towards more deeper and more structured wines with the introduction of famous Didier Dubois as manager. His first wine was the 2001 and the domaine continues to improve in this direction.Read less
Region
Corton
The Grands Crus of Corton, a red made from Pinot Noir, and Corton Charlemagne, a white made from Chardonnay are shared between Aloxe-Corton, Ladoix Serrigny and Pernand Vergelesses. The vines for both are planted on the hillsides underneath the plateau of Corton's woodland forest. The majorityof Pinot Noir is planted in the southern and eastern sector where the soil is naturally rich with red iron clay giving additional body and power. Overall, the wines from these areas tend to be fruit forward and fleshy with a balance of round edges and fine concentration.
