Tasting Notes

This 1er Cru Murgers is muscular and elegant.

Domaine Hudelot-Noellat is an iconic producer in the Côte de Nuits. The style of the Domaine is defined by elegance and purity. The vineyard “Les Murgers” is located in the Vosne-Romanée side of Nuits-Saint-Georges, often considered to be more feminine in style than the muscular Pinot Noir from the other side of the village.

A sturdy mid red purple. This goes back to the peppery style, again with good fruit. Slightly less hedonistic than some years, unsurprisingly. A fresh red raspberry fruit dominates. Drink from 2026-2032. 90-93 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. 100% Pinot Noir.

"I’ve always been blown away by the Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru “Les Murgers”. The capacity of this Pinot Noir to be strong, muscular but still fit in the very elegant category is just showing me the level of craft to get there."

Charles Van Canneyt, Alain Hudelot-Noellat’s grandson, took over the Domaine in 2008 and for the last few vintages he has been entirely in charge of making the wines and he does so incredibly well. The wines have never been as good as they are now. Charles has a very clear approach when making his wines concerning the style he wants to achieve- elegance and purity. In order to do this Charles is careful not to overpower the taste of the wine made from his prestigious vineyards, which are a tremendous asset. With an ideal location, old vines to very old vines and fine clones of Pinot Noir, the challenge is to give the natural expression of the grapes the strongest voice. In 2014, Charles used around 20 to 25% of the whole bunch during the winemaking. Furthermore, he is only using natural yeast, fermenting the must in concrete vats and the maturation is long but with the right balance of oak used. The oak component rarely shows in the wines, only through subtle notes and aromas. This is a brilliant style of winemaking that champions the Pinot Noir varietal.
