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.

Jancis Robinson (16.5)Deepish cherry red. Smells riper and richer than the Bourgogne and with intense and seductive red fruit, subtly floral and so open. Not especially long but delicious in its fragrant and open Chambolle character. |

Decanter (95)Hudelot-Noëllat's 0.8ha holding is made up of two parcels, both of them in the best bit of the Grand Cru. Aged in 40% new wood, this is a not a blockbuster style by any means, emphasising freshness, balance and harmony instead. Floral, racy and supple, it has well-integrated 40% new wood, some vanilla spice and a poised, elegant finish. |

Wine Advocate (91-93)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. |

Vinous (97)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. The palate is very well balanced with fine delineation and poise and shows a subtle marine influence. Superb. |

Vinous (97)The 2018 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru has a very candied, aniseed-tinged bouquet that contains impressive intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, lovely orange-zest infused red fruit, gentle but insistent grip with an arresting, white pepper/spicy finish that leaves the tongue tingling. Impressive and delicious, though it will need cellaring. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts 1er Cru has a more refined, mineral-driven, slightly earthier bouquet compared to Les Suchots, offering a mixture of red and black fruit, bay leaf and a touch of baking powder. The palate is medium-bodied with a core of candied red fruit, quite plush and very sensual. Orange and mango notes permeate the lush, caressing finish. You could drink this now. One that will be too tempting once in bottle. |

Wine Advocate (93-95)The 2018 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots is showing brilliantly this year, wafting from the glass with a deep-pitched bouquet of cassis, blackberries, spices and dark chocolate. On the palate, it's full-bodied, rich and enveloping, its textural attack segueing into a deep and layered core, concluding with a long and penetrating finish. |
