2022 Alain Hudelot-Noëllat Nuits-St.-Georges 1er Cru 'Les Murgers'

Hailing from a long lineage of esteemed wine producers, Alain Hudelot-Noellat has maintained his family's legacy through his persistent pursuit of quality, elegance, and the authentic expression of Burgundian terroir. His vineyard holdings comprise some of the most revered appellations in Burgundy, including Richebourg, Romanee Saint Vivant, Bonnes Mares, and Clos de Vougeot, with many vines surpassing a century in age, augmenting the wines' intricacy, vigor, and refinement. Since his retirement in 2007, Alain's grandson, Charles Van Canneyt, fortified the already stellar reputation of Domaine Hudelot-Noellat. Trained at the prestigious Dijon University, Charles and Vincent Meunier carry forward Alain's commitment to meticulous vinification. His philosophy merges traditional wisdom with modern practices, advocating for healthy vines and rigorous grape sorting to ensure optimal wine quality.

"A pleasing ruby colour. The bouquet shows the perfect match of Vosne hedonistic fruit with the extra weight of Nuits-St-Georges. Fruit floods the palate, dark raspberry, a light acidity, tannins submerged beneath the fruit, a light touch of oak, and remarkably persistent. Very fine indeed. Enjoy it because two thirds of the plot on 161/49 rootstock was taken out after the 2022 harvest. Drink from 2032-2040, (JM, 94-97 points)".
