2020 Doudet-Naudin Bienvenues-Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru
Tasting Notes
A wine of remarkable elegance and complexity, reflecting the grandeur of its storied Grand Cru terroir. In the glass, it gleams with a pale golden hue and hints of green highlights. The nose is captivating and layered, with aromas of white peach, ripe pear, acacia blossom, and a delicate touch of citrus zest, all underpinned by a subtle waft of hazelnut and freshly baked brioche. On the palate, this wine strikes an exquisite balance between richness and precision. The texture is opulent yet finely etched, delivering flavors of orchard fruit, lemon curd, and toasted almonds, framed by a whisper of salinity and flinty minerality. Its vibrant acidity lends energy and lift, while the creamy mid-palate provides depth and a luxurious mouthfeel. The finish is expansive and enduring, leaving a lasting impression of harmony and finesse. This is a wine destined to age gracefully, promising even greater complexity with time in the cellar.
