Romanée-Saint-Vivant is always the grand finale at Hudelot-Noëllat, and the estate's 0.48-hectare holding — planted in 1920, directly bordering the vines of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti — is among the most historically significant parcels in all of Burgundy. Under Charles van Canneyt, Alain Hudelot's grandson, the wines have reached new heights of precision and purity while maintaining the domaine's signature silkiness and terroir transparency. RSV tends toward elegance and finesse rather than power at Hudelot-Noëllat — mineral-driven, floral, and fine-boned, with layers of red fruit, crushed stone, and exotic spice that build with time. The 2024 shows all of this in abundance: Jasper Morris calls it a wine of outstanding quality, and it stands as one of the domaine's finest recent efforts. Patience required, but the pedigree is unquestionable.
