2022 Alain Hudelot-Noëllat Meursault 'Clos des Écoles'

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.

"In bottle. Pale in colour with an attractive nose, the perfume of fruit which is correctly ripe. Fresh behind, still good acidity. Clean, pretty and will fill out from here. Very persistent. Drink from 2027-2032, (JM, 91 points)".
