Domaine Faiveley Ladoix Les Marnes Blanches 2021

Domaine Faiveley Ladoix Les Marnes Blanches 2021 is a village-level white Burgundy from the Ladoix appellation in Côte de Beaune. The wine is produced by Domaine Faiveley, one of Burgundy’s largest and most respected family-owned estates, based in Nuits-Saint-Georges and led by the 7th generation of the Faiveley family.

Vinification & Style
Made from 100% Chardonnay, this wine comes from a parcel originally planted with Pinot Noir but replanted to Chardonnay in the 1990s due to its north-northeast exposure and marl-limestone soil, which proved ideal for white wine. The 2021 vintage in Burgundy was cool and classic, marked by frost and rain, but the wines show increased freshness, purity of fruit and more judicious use of oak. The wine is matured in French oak barrels (a portion new) for around 12–15 months, balancing richness and freshness.
