Vintage Character Alain Hudelot‑Noëllat Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2014 is a powerful yet refined Burgundy that captures both the grandeur of this historic vineyard and the freshness of the vintage. The 2014 growing season in Burgundy was marked by a mild spring, a cool and damp August, and a warm, sunny September that allowed grapes to ripen slowly, producing wines with bright fruit, fine tannins, and notable balance.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, this Clos de Vougeot reveals aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and redcurrant, layered with floral notes, spice, and earthy minerality. The palate is full‑bodied and structured, with firm but polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, savory finish that reflects both the power of the terroir and the elegance of the year. Its depth and finesse make it a superb partner for braised beef cheeks, roast duck with orange glaze, or a rich mushroom ragout, offering complexity and harmony at the table.
Winery Background Domaine Alain Hudelot‑Noëllat, based in Vosne‑Romanée, is one of the most respected names in the Côte de Nuits, with holdings in some of Burgundy’s most prestigious vineyards including Romanée‑Saint‑Vivant, Richebourg, and Clos de Vougeot. Founded in the mid‑20th century, the domaine’s reputation was built by Alain Hudelot and strengthened through his marriage into the Noëllat family, which brought prized parcels in Vosne‑Romanée. Today, the estate covers around 6.5 hectares and is managed by Alain’s grandson, Charles Van Canneyt, who has continued the family legacy with a focus on finesse, purity, and terroir expression. Vineyard work emphasizes low yields and careful attention to detail, while winemaking remains traditional, with gentle extraction and élevage in French oak barrels to preserve balance and authenticity. In Clos de Vougeot, where vineyard size and producer style can vary widely, Hudelot‑Noëllat stands out for crafting wines that combine structure with elegance, making this Grand Cru a benchmark for collectors and Burgundy enthusiasts alike.
