Domaine Hudelot-Noellat wines, praised as being amongst the best in Burgundy for a long time are full of charm and exuberance with great depths, purity and finesse. Charles van Canneyt, Alain Hudelot-Noellat's grandson, now runs the domaine as his grandfather stepped down in 2007. Charles's philosophy is to keep up to 20% of the stems with the juice, especially in vintages and appellations where the fruit can support the extra tannins. The wines are aged in casks particularly from Allier, with some from the Vosges and local Citeaux.

CNY day 2 at Manjie’s. Smoky herbal, slightly peppery notes on the nose. Mealy tannins. High acidity. The 2015 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Murgers is very promising, opening in the glass with notes of smoked duck, sweet cherry and peony. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and elegant, with a deep core of ripe fruit, juicy acids and an ample chassis of fine-grained tannins that is beginning to assert itself on the finish. Forget this for the better part of a decade, then reap the rewards. RP92+, drink 2024-2045
