Domaine de Ladoucette
The Comte Lafond and Ladoucette families have been in control of the largest and best known Pouilly-Fumé vineyards since 1787 when the Comte Lafond purchased the estate from the illegitimate daughter of the Louis XV of France. The estate remains within the same dynasty to this day as the current owner Baron Patrick de Ladoucette, who took over the business in 1972 is a direct descendant. During his time Baron Patrick has extended the interests of the estate to include Sancerre, Chablis, Vouvray & Chinon.
The quality & reputation of the Comte Lafond & Ladoucette wines have long been regarded as excellent and true expressions of the grapes & terroir they represent.
Bright salmon in colour leading with fragrant strawberry, raspberry, nectarine & morello cherry aromas. The palate is light & lively with a keen acidity & pure summer fruit flavours that mingle with subtle vanillin spice in the crisp refreshing finish.
100% Pinot Noir
Rose is a hugely versatile food wine and can pair with all manner of appetisers, salads, duck, seafood including prawns, crab & lobster, light fish dishes and vegetable based dishes such as tartlets . Also a great match for sushi & Asian cuisine.
