2021 Doudet-Naudin Corton-Marechaudes Grand Cru
Tasting Notes
Deep garnet with ruby flashes at the rim. The bouquet is vivid and multi-layered, revealing black cherry, wild raspberry, and rose petal woven with hints of sandalwood, clove, and the iron-rich earth distinctive to Marechaudes. On the palate, the wine is powerful yet finely etched: dense red-and-black fruit unfurls over a core of vibrant acidity, while polished, chalk-dust tannins add both grip and finesse. Subtle notes of forest floor, black tea, and crushed stone emerge mid-palate, giving savory complexity and length. The finish is long and resonant, echoing with kirsch, spice, and a cool, stony minerality.
