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.

Vinous (93)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. |

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. |

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. The impressive, slowly building finish shows a distinctly saline character and a positive dryness. A fascinating wine of terroir, in need of patience. |

Vinous (93-95)(13.8% alcohol) Good full medium red. Very closed but deep nose hints at wild raspberry. Large-scaled, rich and sweet, with terrific creamy depths even if it's not yet expressing itself. Boasts the greatest volume of these 2009s but still rather unformed. Best today on the very long finish, where ripe tannins are smothered in fruit. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (92-95)(25% vendange entier): Good bright, full red. Complex, inviting nose combines raspberry, rose petal and orange zest. Intensely flavored and sharply delineated, showing excellent lift and verve to its red fruit and soil flavors. 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. |

Tim Atkin MW (97)One parcel of very old vines supplies the grapes for this wine. Charles van Cannety added back 40% of the stems after he forgot to do whole bunch fermentation and it's brought a peppery lift to the wine. Spicy, sappy and complex, it shows the classic plumpness and fruit forwardness of Romanée-St-Vivant and very polished tannins. |

Wine Advocate (97)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. |

Decanter (97)This 1920 parcel is situated in the northern part of the Romanée-St-Vivant grand cru, very close to Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's holdings - and it's often a match for that wine. It's detailed, lacy and refreshing, with adroitly integrated 50% new wood and layers of red cherry, raspberry and red plum fruit. It has focussed acidity and palate-caressing tannins. Effortlessly complex. |

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 (96-98)The 2020 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru has a very harmonious bouquet with dark cherries, blueberry, crushed violet and a touch of star anis. Very complex, the mineralité really coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with satin-like tannins, sleek and smooth yet with real depth and a mind-boggling amount of purity. Fabulous. |
