Hudelot-Noëllat is one of Vosne-Romanée's most treasured estates — a domaine built on parcels inherited from two legendary Burgundian families and now recognized as a benchmark for elegance and purity across all levels of the range. Their 0.28-hectare Richebourg holding abuts the vines of DRC itself, and the wines it produces have consistently ranked among the grand cru's finest expressions. 2024 was a challenging but rewarding vintage on the Côte de Nuits, favoring producers with disciplined vineyard management — exactly Hudelot-Noëllat's métier. Neal Martin calls the 2024 "quite a dashing Richebourg," highlighting its mineral drive, fine but firm tannins, and impressive depth. A wine that will need time to fully reveal itself, but carries the unmistakable Vosne silkiness and lift that defines everything this domaine produces.
