Introduction

While Hudelot Noellat is no secret, only recently have the wines started to climb to new heights both in terms of quality and collectability. The vineyards are key to the excellence of wine produced here, with Grand Cru holdings in Richebourg, Romainee Saint Vivant, and Clos Vougeot, and notable premiers cru holdings in the villages of Vosne Romanee, Chambolle Musigny, and Nuits St Georges. The domaine is particularly lucky to have a number of old vine parcels, with Richebourg planted between 1920-1950 and Romanee Saint Vivant planted in 1920. Currently run by Charles Hudelot Noellat, the grandson of Alain, the domaine's focus has shifted largely to the vineyards.

At harvest, up to 20% of the stems are retained and the juice aged in cask for 15-18 months. Roughly 50% new oak is used on the Grand Crus, 30-50% on the premier Crus, 20% on the village wines, and used barrels on the Bourgogne rouge.

“The wines are polished with significant structure, particularly in the old vine parcels in Richebourg and Romanee Saint Vivant.”
