Dense and delicious. Notes of stewed red cherries, baking spice, violet petals, and woodsmoke dominate this textured and silky wine.
Producer Information
Domaine Hudelot-Baillet is a wine producer based in the village of Chambolle-Musigny, in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits subregion. The domaine vineyards are found predominantly within the Chambolle appellation, although it produces a range of labels, from the Grand Cru Bonnes-Mares to Bourgogne Pinot Noir and Chardonnay-based Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits. The domaine was established by Paul Hudelot in the 1970s although its current name dates from the early 1980s when husband-and-wife team Joël Hudelot and Chantal Baillet took over the running of the domaine. In 2004, Dominique Le Guen, the Hudelot’s son-in-law, took over after having been at the winery since 1998. Outside of 1.3 hectares (3.2 acres) of Hautes Côtes de Nuits holdings – spread in the hills to the west of Chambolle in Curtil-Vergy and the small hamlet of La Taupe – and some Bourgogne Pinot Noir immediately to the the east of Chambolle in Gilly-lès-Cîteaux, all vineyard holdings of the domaine are in Chambolle-Musigny itself. These include 0.1 hectares (0.2 acres) in the Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru as well as 0.6 hectares (1.5 acres) in Les Charmes and 0.4 hectares (one acre) in Les Cras – both premiers crus. A further two hectares (five acres) goes into village-level Chambolle-Musigny.
