Goedhuis, December 2017
50% of this ever popular cuvée was lost to frost. What remains is a Bourgogne of notable substance, with a decent stuffing of rich fruit. It has an accessible charm with its supple tannin structure.

Neal Martin, December 2017, Score: 85
The 2016 Bourgogne Rouge has good presence on the nose, a little chalkiness mixed in with the red fruit. The palate is marked by quite sharp acidity, good body, quite primal with hints of blue fruit on the uncomplicated finish. Drink 2018-2021

Burghound, January 2018, Score: 86-89
An ultra-fresh nose features notes of red berries and earth that lead to racy, intense and sleek middle weight flavors that flash just a hint of backend rusticity on the refreshing finish. This is a bit more structured than it usually is which is reflective of the longer than normal cool maceration. Recommended. Outstanding Top value. Drink: 2020+

The Hudelots are an ancient Burgundian family whose ancestry can be traced back to Chambolle since before the French Revolution. Needless to say, wine has been in their blood for almost as long. Alain Huedlot began his wine career in 1954 working for his father and other local growers. At the ripe young age of 20, he started renting vineyards from his family in Chambolle Musigny until eventually receiving other small parcels from his father. Following a passionate and whirlwind romance with the granddaughter of Charles Noellat, he married despite protests from her family. This controversial union ensured additional vineyards despite a harrying and lengthy legal battle. Today the domaine owns a total of 10 well-situated hectares, which are split over 5 communes. Alain Hudelot’s grandson Charles Van Canneyt is a man on a mission. Having arrived at the domaine from Champagne only six years ago, he is already considered one of the brightest young talents in the region. These wines are wonderful examples of traditionally styled Burgundy - superbly pure and focused with an undeniable sense of terroir.Read less

Region
Bourgogne
This blanket regional appellation can apply to wines throughout Burgundy (60% of the area's production) as long as they comply with regulations relating to grape type, yield and alcohol content. Reds and roses are from Pinot Noir or Gamay. Whites are Chardonnay. They are usually the most straightforward of the Burgundy wines, and as a result are the least expensive and the most approachable upon release. In the hands of a more serious producer these can represent exceptional value and quality. The wines are made with the same care and attention to detail as their grander wines. However, they may not qualify for a village or communal appellation because the vines are too young or the vineyard area is outside the appellation boundary.
