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.

Tasting
This exceptional Premier Cru reveals a deep ruby robe with garnet highlights. The nose is intense, complex, and captivating, blending blackcurrant, blackberry, and black cherry with floral notes of violet and faded rose. Darker accents of licorice, truffle, cocoa, and forest floor enrich the bouquet. On the palate, the attack is broad and structured, carried by a dense, velvety texture. The tannins are powerful yet perfectly integrated, and the long, vibrant finish reveals noble minerality and remarkable aromatic persistence. A wine built for ageing — profound, distinguished, and majestically elegant.
Food pairings
This Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru Aux Malconsorts calls for refined, flavorful cuisine. It will elevate beef fillet with truffles, herb-crusted saddle of lamb, or roast pigeon with warm spices. It also pairs beautifully with game stew or stuffed quail with dried fruits. On the cheese board, opt for aged pressed varieties like old Comté, Beaufort, or a truffled Brie. Served between 14 and 16°C, with gentle decanting, it reveals its full complexity and depth — perfect for grand occasions and haute cuisine.
