Louis Jadot Ladoix "Le Clou d'Orge"

From the foothills of Corton hill, a Chardonnay that whispers of stone and sun.
At the meeting point of Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, the village of Ladoix-Serrigny quietly guards some of Burgundy’s most intriguing vineyards. Among them lies Le Clou d’Orge, a Premier Cru site that takes its name from an old measure of barley once grown on these same slopes. Today, it is Chardonnay that thrives here, rooted in limestone and marl soils, drawing elegance and depth from the land.

Louis Jadot’s Ladoix “Le Clou d’Orge” Blanc is more than a wine — it is a reflection of its place. The vineyard’s east-facing slopes catch the morning light, giving fruit that is vibrant and pure, while the age-old soils lend structure and minerality. After gentle fermentation and patient aging in oak, the wine emerges with a character that is both refined and assured.

This is a Chardonnay for moments of reflection and celebration alike, whether shared over seafood on a summer’s evening or savoured with roast chicken by the fire. In Ireland, where Burgundy whites are cherished for their finesse, “Le Clou d’Orge” offers an invitation into a Premier Cru experience that is at once authentic and unforgettable.

Why we love it:
Because it balances grace and depth with such natural ease. This is a Burgundy that feels quietly luxurious — never showy, but always memorable. It’s a bottle that can elevate the everyday in Ireland or add polish to life’s big moments.
