2010 | Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat | Les Murgers

Good bright medium red. Sexy, soil-inflected aromas of cherry, redcurrant, strawberry, tobacco, cinnamon and licorice. Intensely floral and precise, with ripe acidity framing the flavors of red berries, game, earth and resiny herbs. Conveys a saline impression of extract. Finishes with a broad dusting of tannins and excellent length and lift.

Reviews:

• Allen Meadows: A spicy and relatively elegant nose features notes of red and blue pinot fruit and while there are warm earth nuances, they are more of a background element than usual. The seductively textured, round and well-concentrated medium-bodied flavors also possess excellent complexity and a bit more refinement as well on the balanced and lingering finish.

• John Gilman: The elegance of the 2010 vintage is very much on display in this beautiful 2010 Murgers. The deep, pure and sappy nose offers up a perfumed mélange of cherries, red plums, a touch of Nuits nutskin, raw cocoa, complex soil tones, vanillin oak and a floral topnote again redolent of rose petals. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very elegant on the attack, with a beautiful core of fruit, lovely transparency, moderate tannins and excellent length and grip on the pure and classy finish. Fine, fine juice.

Producer Information

Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat is a Burgundy producer of high-quality Pinot Noir from prestigious sites in the Côte de Nuits. The domaine was founded in Vougeot by Alain Hudelot in 1962, although the Hudelot family can trace its history in Burgundy back to before the French Revolution. Hudelot married Odile Noëllat in the 1970s, which increased the domaine's holdings – the Noëllat family has its own significant history in Burgundy. In 2008, Alain retired and his grandson, Charles van Canneyt, took over running the estate alongside cellarmaster Vincent Munier. The domaine has roughly 10 hectares (24 acres) of vineyards with plots in four villages (Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot, Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-Saint-Georges) and in 15 different designated sites. The highest tier of Pinot Noir comes from the grand cru vineyards Richbourg, Romanée-Saint-Vivant and Clos de Vougeot. Hudelot-Noëllatt has a reputation for high vine ages, which it maintains through methodical replanting. The average age is more than 50 years, with several vineyard plantings dating back to 1920, including parcels in Romanée-Saint-Vivant. New oak use in the cellar is regulated to roughly 20 percent for the village wines, going up to 50 percent (and sometimes more) for the grand cru wines. The domaine makes a Bourgogne Aligoté along with its numerous premier cru and villages-level Pinot Noir.
