As the Ladoix appellation grew in reputation, the council chose to identify with its wine, took the name Ladoix-Serrigny and moved the town hall to Ladoix. The name Ladoix comes from an old word for a spring. The commune also includes the hamlets of Buisson, Corcelles and Neuvelle. Two religious buildings tell the older story. The chapel of Notre-Dame-du-Chemin stands beside the old road from Chalon-sur-Saône to Langres, below the Corton vineyards. It joins an 11th-century Romanesque part to a 15th-century Gothic chapel, partly paid for by Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy. The church of Saint-Marcel keeps a 13th-century choir and transept. Saint Marcel is honoured here as the protector of winegrowers. ## The wines Ladoix has 11 premier cru climats. The upper slope has stony, reddish soils with iron-rich oolite and marl, suited to white wine. At mid-slope, brown limestone soils full of flinty debris give firm, vivid reds, softer on the clay at the foot. Vines face east to south, between 230 and 325 metres. Reds from Pinot Noir are round and silky, with raspberry and cherry. Whites from Chardonnay show acacia, ripe apple and a buttery touch. A few parcels here are sold as Aloxe-Corton. **All the grands crus (2)**: Corton, Corton-Charlemagne **Well-known premiers crus (11 premiers crus)**: La Micaude, Les Joyeuses, Bois Roussot, Le Clou d'Orge, La Corvée, Les Grêchons et Foutrières ## What to see ### Chapelle Notre-Dame-du-Chemin A small chapel by the old main road, at the foot of the Corton vineyards.
