Tasting Notes
Charles Van Canneyt’s Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is a 93–95 point Pinot Noir that balances power with elegance, offering red fruit purity, floral finesse, and earthy complexity. His wines reflect both the heritage of Hudelot-Noëllat and his own modern négociant vision, making them highly collectible and age-worthy Burgundy expressions.
About Winery
Charles Van Canneyt is the grandson of Alain Hudelot-Noëllat, one of Burgundy’s most respected winemakers. In 2008, Charles took over Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat, continuing its tradition of terroir-driven Pinot Noir from Chambolle-Musigny and Vosne-Romanée. In 2012, he launched his own micro-négociant label, sourcing grapes from prestigious growers across the Côte de Nuits, including Grand Crus like Chambertin, Charmes-Chambertin, and Echezeaux. His philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention, gentle extraction, and careful oak use (about 20–25% new barrels), resulting in wines of purity, finesse, and longevity. Today, Van Canneyt is considered part of Burgundy’s “nouvelle vogue” of négociants, producing small quantities of highly sought-after wines that rival established domaines.
