Domaine Bourgogne-Devaux Bourgogne Hautes-Cotes de Beaune, 2020

The Le Clou is a sensational 2020 that showcases why in warm vintages the Haute Cote is such an incredible deal. Vivacious red flowers and brambly red and black fruit dominate the nose. The palate is like drinking silk on the palate, conveying terrific depth to its flavours of raspberry, warm spices and smoked meat. To me, of these two wines, this one reflects the power of the 2020 vintage and will blossom come summertime this year. Tasting a 2015 of this, I was shocked by how well it aged, but it shouldn’t be such a surprise considering that when talking about ageing wine, acidity is most important, and this wine has it in spades.
