Domaine Hudelot-Baillet
Bourgogne Pinot Noir
Nose has tart strawberry, ripe black cherry, blackberry, dried soil with peat and faint creamy oak notes.
Palate has ripe blackberry, ripe cherry, dried garden soil, thawed strawberries, light cedar influence, decent finish but we're underwhelmed overall. Maybe closing up now, revisit in 3-5Y, 2025-27.
Cork pulled, slow oxidation for 3H.
Solid pairing to toasted Israeli couscous, za'atar and lightly fried eggs from the backyard egg factory. For us, eggs are always a great pair to Bourgogne Rouge, they balance wonderfully.
(Also, for the record, no photo trickery on the food pic, our Australorp eggs are indeed that orange; Good diet equals good eggs.)

Oct 22nd, 2020Nice Bourgogne for < $30 but not quite the “unlabeled Chambolle” that some seem to suggest. Aromatically gives some strawberry / cherry and earth but relatively subdued. Mid palate is lacking fruit and earth. Finish is nice with good freshness. But overall probably slightly below expectations.

Gorgeous ripe red fruits, raspberries, a balanced and deep palate for the level, incredible QPR.

Surprisingly dark colour for a Bourgogne rouge - lovely fruit with maybe some oak? Really nice weight on the palate - sumptuous and polished a wine of chambolle-musigny class!
