Domaine Hudelot-Baillet Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits 2020
Domaine Hudelot-Baillet is a true Chambolle-Musigny producer with cellars in the town and holdings entirely within the appellation. The domaine was created in 1981 by Joël Hudelot and his wife Chantal Baillet. Joël retired in 2004 and passed along the reins to his son-in-law, Dominique Le Guen, who had been working with him at the domaine since 1998.
Dominique has elevated the quality at this domaine and has been described by illustrious neighbors in Chambolle as a ‘vigneron to watch’. The wines demonstrate a level of purity that could not be mistaken for anything but Chambolle-Musigny, from the Bourgogne Rouge to the Bonnes Mares.
Dominique's Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Blanc comes from 0.84 hectares spread across three parcels located in the Hautes-Côtes above Chambolle in an area called Vergy. The wine kicks off fermentation in tank but finishes in barrel where it continues to age for around 12 months. Around 15% of the total volume is aged in new barrels.
