This has basically become my favorite Bourgogne Rouge. I can’t afford to buy the Burgundy that I really want to and love to drink, so I gotta get my fix in other ways and this wine never disappoints. It’s also aging quite well. I bought a tranche of the 15’s a number of years ago and they’re just gorgeous. Incredible pure expression of forest berries that have an almost alpine quality with lovely florals and aromatic herbs all enlivened by nervy acidity and a gorgeous silky texture. I love pretty much all the wines from Hudelot-Noellat.

PnP, very open knit on both the nose and palate. A very easy drinker offering up beautiful well balanced fruit.

Medium rubi robe, nose of crushed flowers, spices and a hint of wild berries. In the mouth its light and elegant, so much better than the regional bourgogne rouge label can make you think. Top notch stuff and we have had many bottles of different vintages, always delivers the goods.

Still a baby but showing all the elegance and finesse that this producer is famous for. Hide it.

It was suggested that I try one of these as a daily drinker candidate. For me a bit to tart and note enough fruit to keep my attention. Will try another in a few years to see if this develops.
