2013 | Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat | Vosne-Romanee

Perfumed and charming, it has strawberry and delicate red cherry fruit characters. The palate is succulent with silky tannins and nice weight.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2013 Vosne-Romanée Village has a delicate red cherry, bergamot and strawberry-scented bouquet that gently unfolds but never gets carried away. The palate is well balanced with confit-like red berry fruit, strawberry jam and boysenberry, revealing satisfying weight on the finish. This has very good potential for a Village Cru and comes strongly recommended for those who cannot afford the Grand Crus.

• Wine Cellar: Bright, dark red. Sexy floral and mineral high tones lift aromas of raspberry and milk chocolate on the perfumed nose. A step up in breadth and structure over the village Chambolle, showing a minty nuance to the red fruit flavors. Finishes with a firm tannic spine. The wines' acidity reinforces their structure in 2013, notes Charles van Canneyt, adding that pHs are lower than in 2012 while admitting that he hasn't yet done an analysis.

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.
