2020 Alain Hudelot-Noellat Vosne Romanee Cote de Nuits France

Press
"Elegant and supple, it may lack the concentration of some from this domaine, but it has an echo of the cherry and violet aromas of Suchots within a lighter, fresher frame. In short, a very nice result at the village level. This Vosne is produced from a single parcel of 0.78ha in Bas Maizières, located downslope from Suchots. The vines are nearly 40 years of age and in 2020 they were picked at 13% potential alcohol. Drinking Window 2025 - 2040."

"Aromas of cassis, dark berries, sweet spices and loamy soil introduce the 2020 Vosne-Romanée Village, a medium to full-bodied, lively and concentrated wine that's more tightly wound and youthfully primary than its Chambolle-Musigny counterpart. Framed by bright acids and powdery tannins, it reveals terrific potential. Somewhat lower in alcohol than his 2019 portfolio but just as striking and sensual in style, Charles Van Canneyt has produced a brilliant range of wines in the 2020 vintage—including what may well be his best Richebourg (to mention only one cuvée out of several by name) to date. Harvest began on August 28th and only lasted a few days, delivering wines of striking concentration and energy. Everything reviewed here comes warmly recommended and will be well worth seeking out.

"A spicier if not cooler note is both very pretty and quite fresh with its array of dark pinot fruit, violet and exotic tea. The notably rich and again, appealingly textured medium-bodied flavors are succulent but punchy on the equally complex and persistent finish. This too is well-worth your interest. *Burghound Outstanding Top Value!"
