Domaine Prieuré-Roch Ladoix Le Cloud Blanc 2023 is a Chardonnay from a high-altitude vineyard with limestone-rich soils that impart a sharp mineral edge. The estate follows strict biodynamic principles and a minimalist approach, using indigenous yeasts and avoiding the addition of sulphur. The 2023 vintage was generous, providing the wine with a ripe fruit core and a supple, open-knit texture. This release displays aromas of citrus zest, white flowers and a distinct flinty note. The palate is energetic and precise, balancing a creamy mouthfeel with a driving, chalky acidity.
