The 2015 Ladoix Le Clos Royer Rouge was clearly in red fruit territory on the nose with ample red cherries and crushed strawberry aromas that are neatly integrated with the new oak. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannin. It feels a little rustic towards the finish, although it may develop more finesse by the time of bottling. Oddly, it is atypically one where I have a preference for the white version.
