The Ladoix Les Corvees is more structured than the Ladoix, with more concentration and ripeness, an attractive, open-knit, vanilla and black-cherry-scented nose, a rich, concentrated, medium-bodied personality, and a long, lush finish with light to moderate tannin. It will drink well for 5-8 years. In 1993, the Cornu family, in what are usually difficult appellations, admirably succeeded in turning out harmonious, sweet, richly fruity wines that possess the stuffing necessary to stand up to the vintage's tannin. Moreover, Cornu's offerings include some excellent values.
Except for Cornu's Corton Les Bressandes, his vineyard holdings are in modest appellations. Nevertheless, he turns out better and better wines by keeping yields moderate and not overly processing the wines. Recent vintages have included strong efforts in 1989 and 1990. I should also note that Cornu's 1985 Corton Les Bressandes is living up to my high expectations.
