Hudelot Baillet
Domaine Hudelot Baillet
Based in Chambolle-Musigny, Domaine Hudelot-Baillet was founded in 1981 by Joël Hudelot after inheriting some vines from his parents Paul Hudelot and Chantal Baillet. Joël retired in 2004 and left the Domaine in the hands of his son-in-law, Dominique Leguen, who had been working at the estate since 1998 and has done an amazing job crafting wines that offer astounding quality to price ratios. Only reviewed by the Wine Advocate from the 2012 vintage onwards, Domaine Hudelot-Baillet is a lovely hidden gem that was uncovered by Neal Martin (Vinous) entirely by chance, as he relates:
“I chanced upon the wine at “The Sampler” in London when the name was little known. I was instantly taken with the wines and had been meaning to visit the winery since that time.”

Vinous (89-91)The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes comes from six parcels from around the appellation. There is a touch of reduction on the nose, dark berry fruit mixed with iris flower and a touch of pencil box. A little introspective at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with a candied entry, quite sweet with a lot of sucrosity. Maybe that detracts from its complexity towards the finish, which tapers when you want it to fan out. It's not bad, but it needs to gain some flesh in the coming months. |

Burghound (89-91)(from Fouchères, Les Mombies, Les Babillières, Nazoires, Les Mal Carrées and Les Chardannes). A ripe and quite fresh array combines notes of black cherry with those of spice and an admirably discreet dollop of wood. The succulent and caressing middle weight flavors possess solid volume before concluding in a robust, powerful and slightly warm finish. This is not really in the mode of a lace and grace Chambolle but does offer fine depth and persistence in an age-worthy package. Worth considering. |
