Charles Van Canneyt - Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2023

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.

Charles van Canneyt’s Ruchottes offers a nose of rich, sweet black cherry fruit. There’s good intensity to the fruit – with a focused core of black plum and red cherry. It’s not revealing its full complexity yet, but everything is in place here – with balance between the juicy acidity, velveteen tannins and vibrant fruit. 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.
