Charles Van Canneyt Nuits St Georges 2022
This is rather stylish, showing very pretty red fruit flavours all wrapped up in a lush and quite supple fruit driven palate with just enough structure to give it a lovely little lift. Great start to the tasting. Drink from 2025.
Having been at the helm of the iconic Domaine Hudelot-Noellat in Chambolle-Musigny since 2008, Charles Van Canneyt is well known among Burgundy connoisseurs. Charles is Alain Hudelot?s grandson and is a very talented and skilled winemaker. With the confidence and ingrained skills, his own negoce label flourishes.
Vineyards in Burgundy are more expensive than ever. In the past, common practice was for young winemakers to acquire vineyards to start their own venture. Today, they buy grapes from growers they trust, avoiding the debt they would otherwise accrue. This is how many of the most motivated and passionate producers start. Indeed, it was this path that Lalou Bize-Leroy followed before acquiring her first plots from the Charles Noellat holding.
Charles has not started from scratch, far from it. Through his extensive network of Burgundy?s finest growers, Charles sources the very best grapes. His intimate knowledge of the region enables him to select vineyards in the best locations. In a sense it is ideal to produce wines of the highest quality. It is through his experience at Domaine Hudelot-Noellat and the profile he has acquired within the community that Charles has opened the right doors to source these grapes.
