Charles Van Canneyt - Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru 2022
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.
