  • Goedhuis, January 2014, Score: 94-96

    Tucked between two parcels of Domaine Romanée Conti’s Richebourg, with such a fine location it is hardly surprising this is a wine of incredible intensity and drive. An amazingly full and concentrated style with defined volume and sweetness on the finish. A Grand Cru in every way!

  • Neal Martin, December 2013, Score: 96-98

    The 2012 Richebourg Grand Cru, which comes from a 0.28-hectare parcel planted in 1950, this year contains 20% whole bunches and the domaine were graced with five barrels. It has a very refined and distinctly aristocratic bouquet adorned with beautifully defined black and red fruits, perhaps leaning towards the former with aeration. Touches of seaweed and tilled earth emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins. It does not have the charm of the RSV at the moment, but there is beguiling structure and symmetry with a long mineral laden finish. Superb.

  • Burghound, January 2015, Score: 95

    (from vines that abut those of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti in Richebourg proper). Though this is a bit more deeply pitched the nose is actually compositionally similar to that of the Romanée St. Vivant. I love the sense of underlying tension to the mineral-driven, taut and naturally muscular flavors that are shaped by impressively fine-grained tannins before culminating in a gorgeously long, intense and palate staining finish. This firmly structured, explosive and beautifully well-balanced effort should be fantastic in time. Drink 2027+

    Here too the nose is sufficiently reduced to block a reasonable assessment. I love the sense of underlying tension to the mineral-driven, taut and naturally muscular flavors that, like the Romanée St. Vivant, are shaped by impressively fine-grained tannins before culminating in a gorgeously long, intense and palate staining finish. This should be fantastic in time. Drink 2027+

  • Jancis Robinson, January 2014, Score: 17.5

    Blackberry, soft and bouncy in style – very lively and refreshing. Very lengthy and intense fruit, but minimal development yet. One for the long haul. Drink 2020-2036

The Hudelots are an ancient Burgundian family whose ancestry can be traced back to Chambolle since before the French Revolution. Needless to say, wine has been in their blood for almost as long. Alain Huedlot began his wine career in 1954 working for his father and other local growers. At the ripe young age of 20, he started renting vineyards from his family in Chambolle Musigny until eventually receiving other small parcels from his father. Following a passionate and whirlwind romance with the granddaughter of Charles Noellat, he married despite protests from her family. This controversial union ensured additional vineyards despite a harrying and lengthy legal battle. Today the domaine owns a total of 10 well-situated hectares, which are split over 5 communes. Alain Hudelot’s grandson Charles Van Canneyt is a man on a mission. Having arrived at the domaine from Champagne only six years ago, he is already considered one of the brightest young talents in the region. These wines are wonderful examples of traditionally styled Burgundy - superbly pure and focused with an undeniable sense of terroir.Read less
