Presentation
Located in Chambolle-Musigny, near Vougeot, Domaine Hudelot Noëllat is a family property founded in 1962 by Alain Hudelot. The estate took off in the 1970s with the addition of vines from Odile Noëllat, his wife. Today, their grandson Charles van Canneyt manages the estate, which covers 10 hectares, spread over some of the most prestigious appellations in Côte de Nuits. Despite its discretion in France, the estate enjoys an international reputation thanks to its cuvées from exceptional terroirs: Romanée Saint-Vivant, Clos Vougeot, Richebourg, Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots, Les Beaumonts, Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes, Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Murgers... These vineyards, marked by rich limestone soils, allow the purest expression of Pinot Noir. Viticulture is conducted with great respect for the terroir, in a reasoned struggle, and vinifications are precise and low-intervention. Aging in oak barrels, with a controlled proportion of new wood, preserves the natural elegance of the fruit while adding depth and complexity. The estate's wines stand out for their silky texture, aromatic finesse, and exceptional sensuality, making them some of the most elegant and sought-after references in Burgundy.
