About this wine

Clos de Vougeot is the great walled vineyard planted by Cistercian monks in the twelfth century, now a grand cru of about fifty hectares divided among many owners. Its Pinot Noir is typically dark-fruited, firm and structured, with a savoury depth that develops slowly. Hudelot-Noëllat's Clos de Vougeot is notably perfumed and refined for the vineyard and ages well for twenty years or more.

About Domaine Alain Hudelot-Noellat

Domaine Alain Hudelot-Noëllat is based in Vougeot, in the Côte de Nuits, and owns vines in some of the finest vineyards of Vosne-Romanée, Chambolle-Musigny and Vougeot, including the grands crus Richebourg, Romanée-Saint-Vivant and Clos de Vougeot. The domaine was built up by Alain Hudelot, combining vines from his own family and from the Noëllat family.

Since 2008 it has been run by Alain's grandson, Charles van Canneyt, who has refined the style towards greater purity and freshness. The wines are perfumed, silky and finely structured, and the domaine is now regarded as one of the most consistent sources in the Côte de Nuits.
