2022 Domaine de la Renaudie Duo
Tasting Notes
The Duo cuvée has a double meaning. It’s the perfect alliance between two beloved red grape varieties: Malbec (Côt) and Cabernet Franc. Duo also reflects Charlotte's ability to balance her time between crafting wine and embracing her sensuality as a woman. This is a delicate wine with a ruby hue featuring the aromatics of red and black fruits. The wine is of medium body, round and well balanced, with notes of blueberry and cherry.
