This Pinot Noir was aged 16 months in 2 to 8-year-old oak barrels. Hand-harvested grapes, fermented with indigenous yeasts and small-scale production make for a fine example of a top-notch Pinot. The aroma has hints of cherries, raspberries, and spices. Rich and fleshy on the palate, its velvety tannins are hidden in ripe, juicy fruit. This is a stunning cuvée that surpasses its weight.
The wines of Hudelot-Noëllat are often mentioned in comparison to other grands crus from Vosne-Romanee - Domaine Leroy, for example. Premier and Grand Cru Vosne-Romanee are the main trump cards of the estate, which Charles has been able to present impeccably. Followers of Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat are familiar with Charles Van Canneyt's approach in the winery and cellar: predominantly stemless grapes are fermented in cement tanks for two to three weeks of classic maceration. Barrel aging, which emphasizes François Frères and Cavin plays a supporting role, continues for 18 months, except for Bourgogne Rouge. These methods, combined with an enviable palette of appellations planted with very old vines (the average age is over 50 years, some dating back to 1920, including plots in Romanee-Saint-Vivant), produce substantial wines with impressive aging potential.
