Tasting Notes

Having helmed the iconic Domaine Hudelot-Noellat since 2008, Charles Van Canneyt is well known among burgundy connoisseurs.  Charles is Alain Hudelot’s grandson and a very talented and skilled winemaker in his own right. Through his extensive network of Burgundy’s finest growers, Charles sources excellent grapes. By style, it’s aligned with the family wines, pure and terroir transparent.

From the smallest of the Chambertin Grands Crus, this is a gorgeous wine in 2021. The nose is full of sweet, bright, fresh cherry fruit. But that’s joined by layers of wild strawberry and raspberry, with peony perfume and savoury, smoky complexity. The palate offers a creamy mouthful – rich and long, an impressively rich wine with silken tannins. 100% Pinot Noir.

Charles Van Canneyt buys must through an enviable network of top quality growers. His aim is to work with likeminded vignerons, who are respectful of their soil and who have exceptionally well-located vineyards. After being pressed, the wine is collected to be aged in Charles’ cellar. Maturation is undertaken in French oak barrels with 20% new oak for twelve months.
