Hudelot Noellat Richebourg Grand Cru 2020 750ml

Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat in Chambolle-Musigny, revitalized in recent years by Charles van Canneyt, farms a tiny parcel of Richebourg in the heart of the grand cru, next to the vines of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. The 2020 is a career high: Decanter awarded it 99 points, calling it "wine of another order." Its style favors elegance over power, with pure, bright cherry, rose petal, exotic spice and dark plum over a dense yet silky, very fine texture and real mineral depth. A warm, early vintage brought intensity without heaviness. Cellar it a few more years; it should drink beautifully for 15 years or more.
