2019 Domaine Hudelot-Baillet Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes #161777465
Our Notes
Founded in 1981 by Joel Hudelot and his wife Chantal Baillet, Domaine Hudelot-Baillet is located solely within Chambolle-Musigny. In 1998, Dominque Le Guen, son-in-law and eventual heir joined the winery and has since been developing the quality and style of the wines to an enviable level. Christophe Roumier has declared Le Guen as a"vigneron to watch"within the appellation. From vines averaging between 60-75 years old, the grapes are destemmed at the winery upon arrival then go through a brief cool pre-fermentation maceration before being crushed. Aging occurs in a mix of new and 1-2 year oak barrels.
Reviews 92-94 points Vinous "...has a clean, precise bouquet of perfumed, floral black cherry and black currant aromas, laced with violet. The palate is very well balanced with succulent tannins, supremely well-judged acidity and a very tender, persistent finish. Very classy and highly recommended. (NM)"
