Information
Two elements prevail at Clos Naudin: transmission of savoir-faire and the art of tasting. You won't be surprised that this Vouvray domain has, with each generation, lost not a bit of its soul or expertise, producing pure, taut, complex wines which traverse the years with remarkable ease.
The parcel of vines which produced this cuvée now belongs to Domaine Huet. The daughter of Armand Foreau, who established Clos Naudin at the beginning of the 20th century, married Gaston Huet and inherited part of the vineyard when her father passed away. Thus, this is an exceptionally rare wine, of which very few bottles remain.
This is also a wine of exceptional longevity, which, after several decades of ageing, has developed an amber colour and an intense bouquet reminiscent of natural sweet wine where prunes, jammy fruit, nuts, coffee, and sweet spices combine with a touch of undergrowth and mild tobacco. The smooth, full-bodied palate retains great richness, balanced by just the right amount of acidity and a subtle note of iodine. This exceptional cuvée contains a little bit of history and should be savoured slowly to appreciate it fully.
