Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes comes from a plot of 0.21 hectares. Production - 1200 bottles. The wine is aged 16 months in oak barrels. Hand-harvested grapes, fermented with wild yeasts, and small-scale production make for a fine example of a top-notch Pinot. Aromas of rose petals, peonies, and exotic spices. On the palate, rich and mineral, its velvety tannins hide 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.

Wine Advocate
William Kelley: "There are four barrels of the brilliant 2020 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes, a striking wine that mingles aromas of raspberries and red cherries with hints of rose petal, peony and exotic spices in an inviting bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, with lively acids and a long, mineral finish, this is very promising".
