Hudelot-Noëllat
About Domaine Hudelot-Noellat
The legendary Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat is currently under the magnetic leadership of Charles Van Canneyt, grandson of founder Alain Hudëlot-Noellat.
One of the truly great names of Burgundy, Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat can trace its founding back to the (relatively) recent marriage of Alain Hudelot and Odile Noëllat in 1964. Combining not just their surnames, but their ancestral vineyard holdings also, one of the great producers of the vinous world was born quite romantically.
The Winemaker
Charles Van Canneyt is a dynamically young winemaker in the region, hailed as something of a prodigy ever since he took up the mantel of his family estate from his grandfather Alain. Having completed his formal training at Dijon University, Charles began to assist at Hudelot-Noëllat for a number of years alongside the watchful and diligent consultant Vincent Meunier, who very much remains the family’s lieutenant, before taking over in 2008.
The Vineyards
One would be hard-pressed to imagine a better Domaine to inherit. Naturally, names such as DRC and Rousseau may rightly come to mind, but Hudelot-Noëllat is every bit as desirable a birthright. A five-hectare parcel of some of the finest Grands Crus in Vosne-Romanée represents the pinnacle of Van Canneyt’s holdings – chief amongst which is his Richebourg and Romanée-St-Vivant.

Decanter (93)
This impressive white wine from red wine specialist Charles van Canneyt at Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat dispels the myth that one can’t do both. The aromas begin with a hint of lemon peel and white flowers and then opens up to encompass quince, hazelnut, and spice. The beautiful freshness of the year balances out the impressive concentration of the wine to lead to a surprisingly long finish. 2021 is van Canneyt’s fifth vintage of this wine, whose vines were previously worked by Domaine Coche-Dury.Inc.

Wine Advocate (91-93)
The 2013 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Murgers has a cohesive bouquet with red currant, raspberry and just a touch of tinned peach, quite Vosne-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, the oak needing a little more time to fully integrate. But it is endowed with a pleasant, endearing spiciness, almost fieriness that lends the finish intrigue. This has finesse and focus, constituting and supremely well-crafted 2013.Inc. TAX€1,288.38 -
Vinous (90)
Full medium red. Wild aromas of strawberry and smoke plus a touch of meaty reduction. Fat, sweet and creamy in the middle, showing excellent volume for the year but not the verve or thrust of the Vosne villages. The wine's tannins coat the teeth and dry the sides of the tongue. (This wine was aged in 30% new oak, vs. 15% to 20% for the village wines.) My score assumes that this wine will absorb its oak element with time in the cellar.Inc. TAX€1,246.38 -

Wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis, red fruit compote, potpourri and smoked meats, the 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Murgers is medium to full-bodied, gourmand and textural, with a deep core of fruit framed by rich structuring tannins and ripe acids. This is a dramatic but nicely balanced Murgers from Hudelot-Noellat.Inc. TAX€1,074.78 -

The dark mulberry and cassis fruit have a slightly rustic edge with lovely notes of cigar leaf, mineral, and earth. The texture is dense and tannic, yet there is an elegance as well brought by the fresh acidity that produces a lively feel on the palate and leads to a lingering finish. The grapes come from the 0.70-hectare domaine-owned parcel and are partially destemmed before gentle fermentation and ageing in cask (20% new). The overall effect is closer to the domaine’s wines in Vosne-Romanée, yet there is a touch of muscular Nuits style.Inc. TAX€1,922.66 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94-97)
A pleasing ruby colour. The bouquet shows the perfect match of Vosne hedonistic fruit with the extra weight of Nuits-St-Georges. Fruit floods the palate, dark raspberry, a light acidity, tannins submerged beneath the fruit, a light touch of oak, and remarkably persistent. Very fine indeed. Enjoy it because two thirds of the plot on 161/49 rootstock was taken out after the 2022 harvest. Drink from 2032-2040.Inc. TAX€923.16 -

Medium red. Pungent perfume of blood orange, licorice and herbs, lifted by a floral topnote. Tactile but backward, with terrific lift and perfume to the raspberry and crushed fruit flavors. The terrific rising finish displays great energy and a wonderfully light touch. Really stains the palate. With aeration, a deeper smoky, earthy tang and more adamant minerality emerged. A beauty, but lay it down for at least seven or eight years.Inc. TAX€4,868.98 -

Vinous (96+)
(13.8% alcohol with a bit of chaptalization, according to winemaker Charles Van Canneyt): Deep, full red. Very recent but pure nose eventually reveals scents of musky wild red fruits and smoky, stony minerality; a real essence of Burgundy. Deep and thick on the palate; dense with extract and utterly smooth too but with explosive energy suggesting that this wine will repay long aging. Finishes with outstanding rising smoky persistence and powerful stony minerality. These 2010s, bottled in February of 2012, display extraordinary digestibility.Inc. TAX€9,718.38 -
Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (93-96)
(vinified with some whole clusters, but a lower percentage than was used to make the RSV and Clos Vougeot): Medium red, a bit less saturated than the RSV. Reticent but rather wild aromas of red berries, smoky underbrush and caraway seed. Sweet and smooth in the mouth; larger than the RSV but less demonstrative and complex today in spite of possessing very good energy. Most impressive today on the rising, palate-staining finish, which features terrific grip and serious spine for two or three decades of aging. Fairly powerful for a wine from this producer, particularly given the essentially gentle style of the year.Inc. TAX€8,506.38 -
Decanter (98)
This 0.29ha parcel was planted (or replanted) in two stages - the 1930s and 1978 - so it has a high average age but plenty of concentration and complexity. It's one of my red wines of the vintage in 2017, with a heavenly perfume, lovely wild strawberry and summer orchard scents, fine-grained tannins, some sweet spices and refreshing minerality. Stunning.Inc. TAX€4,709.20 -

The 2018 Richebourg Grand Cru has a very intense, well-defined bouquet of blackberry and cassis aromas, hints of eucalyptus coming through with time; this is absolutely irresistible.

Vinous (96-98)
The 2019 Richebourg Grand Cru is much more backward on the nose compared to the outgoing Romanée-Saint-Vivant, offering dark berry fruit, cold wet limestone, briar and hints of iris flower, but showing fabulous delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with filigreed tannins framing extraordinary pure black fruit suffused with even more mineralité than the aforementioned RSV. It fans out wonderfully on the finish and asserts its authority over the rest of Hudelot-Noëllat’s portfolio. Brilliant.Inc. TAX€7,595.20 -

The 2021 Richebourg Grand Cru has a beautifully defined bouquet that is focused and vivacious, very complex, quite floral in style and actually like Romanée-Saint-Vivant. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, crisp and edgy, very saline with a persistent finish. This seems to unfold with each swirl of the glass, yet you can tell there is hidden depth to this Richebourg that time will reveal. This is pure class.Inc. TAX€2,920.45 -

Deep, bright red-ruby. Dark raspberry, licorice, violet and minerals on the vibrant nose and palate. Moderately sweet, dense and sappy, with a saline impression of soil giving shape to the silky, mouthfilling flavors. A wonderfully creamy expression of terroir, with a very long, rising finish that juxtaposes floral lift and energy with deeper-pitched coffee and underbrush elements.Inc. TAX€1,348.49 -
Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (93)
Good medium red. Highly perfumed nose combines raspberry, strawberry, cocoa powder, white pepper, blood orange and a resiny headshop spiciness. Pungent, complex and weightless; a wonderfully lively, delicate wine with sneaky intensity and superb penetrating energy and lift. Finishes dry and understated. Suave rather than large. My recorked bottle lost some verve with 24 hours, suggesting that this wine is probably best for mid-term drinking-say, beginning in five years. But that brilliant nose can't be duplicated anywhere outside the northern C o te de Nuits. Van Canneyt told me he doesn't consider 2007 to be a great year for this domain and that he prefers the 2008s for their depth of fruit and texture.Inc. TAX€1,395.70 -
Vinous (93+)
Medium red. Musky, soil-driven aromas of mocha, licorice, spices, soy sauce and flowers. Sweet, plush, rich and very ripe, but with plenty of energy to the cocoa powder, loam and spice flavors.

(25% vendange entier): Good bright, full red. Complex, inviting nose combines raspberry, rose petal and orange zest.

An element of medicinal red cherry and emerging minerality suggest that this silky, deep wine will enjoy a graceful evolution in bottle. Finishes with substantial ripe tannins and lovely rising perfume. With time in the glass, this wine demonstrated its firm spine more clearly.Inc. TAX€5,986.38 -

I knew that the 2014 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru would be great when I tasted it from barrel last year...but not this great. It has a wonderful, tensile bouquet that just seems to sparkle. The fruit is so crystalline and laden with energy and mineralité that you almost have to sit down! The palate is surfeit with energy, the fruit perhaps a little darker than in barrel with white pepper, spices towards the almost Richebourg-like finish. Tasting them side-by-side, I would err for this over the Richebourg - it is a magnificent wine from Charles van Canneyt.Inc. TAX€3,431.20
