2022 Doudet-Naudin Meursault
Tasting Notes
A golden, brilliant hue that hints at its elegance and depth. The nose is beautifully floral, opening with white blossoms like hawthorn, complemented by youthful notes of fresh apple and a subtle touch of vanilla. As the wine evolves, its bouquet gains complexity, revealing enhanced richness. On the palate, this Meursault is ample and powerful yet impeccably balanced, offering a vibrant freshness that lifts its generous profile. Flavors of ripe orchard fruits intertwine with a hint of minerality and a whisper of toasty oak, creating an impression of precision and sophistication. The texture is silky and refined, leading to a long, graceful finish marked by delicate tannins and a lingering sense of finesse. While approachable now, this wine promises to develop beautifully over the coming years, gaining additional depth and length on the palate.
