2020 Doudet-Naudin Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in the glass. Aromas of black cherry, wild strawberry, and rose petal mingle with sandalwood and a touch of forest floor. The palate is concentrated yet poised, showing ripe red‑black fruit, bright acidity, and fine, firm tannins. Subtle notes of crushed stone and clove add complexity. A long, mineral finish hints at kirsch and violet.
